1968 Map of Bath Alum

About this map

Cowpasture River winds through the eastern portion of this terrain, following a series of tight bends defined by the surrounding ridges. The settlement at Bath Alum serves as a local crossroads near the confluence of Thompson Creek and Cowpasture River, while the smaller community of McClung sits further north along the slopes of McClung Ridge. The landscape is dominated by the massive presence of the George Washington National Forest, covering prominent heights like Warm Springs Mountain and Big Piney Mountain. Local history is anchored by rural institutions such as Westminister Chapel Cem and Woodland Ch Cem. Significant landmarks like Chimney Rocks and a designated Landing Strip near Jordan Run highlight the intersection of natural geologic features and mid-century rural infrastructure.
