1967 Map of Beans Cove

About this map

Tussey Mountain and Warrior Ridge dominate this section of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, creating the distinct north-south corridors that defined local settlement patterns in the late 1960s. The remote valley of Beans Cove sits between these high ridges, anchored by Seven Dolors Ch and the nearby Ruby Cem. This area reveals a landscape of transition where small agricultural pockets are hemmed in by the expansive Buchanan State Forest and State Game Lands No 97. To the south, the settlement of Hewitt marks a point of interest for local historians with its Covered Bridge and the Prosperity Ch. The map provides a detailed view of the high-elevation terrain around Martin Hill, where the Radio Tower Lookout Tower overlooks complex gaps such as Pigeonroost Gap and Sweet Root Gap.
