2016 Map of Bergton

About this map

Bergton sits at the confluence of several vital waterways in this 2016 survey of the Virginia and West Virginia borderlands. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the German River and the North Fork Shenandoah River, which carve through the high ridges of the George Washington National Forest. Notable terrain features like Shenandoah Mountain, Church Mtn, and Mine Mtn dictate the settlement patterns, forcing local roads to follow the narrow hollows of Cullers Run and Crab Run. Local history is preserved in the small burial grounds of Crab Run Cem and Moyers Cem, while landmarks like the Blue Hole reflect the deep connection between the community and its river system. The map captures a quiet rural corridor where state and county lines track across high mountain summits.
