About this map

Bergton sits along the North Fork Shenandoah River in this survey of the Virginia and West Virginia borderlands. The settlement serves as a focal point for local history researchers, featuring the Bergton Sch and several community landmarks like the Martin Luther Ch and the Bergton Gospel Center. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Shenandoah Mountain and Flattop Mountain, which separate the river valley from the drainage of the Lost River to the east.

Within the George Washington National Forest, the map identifies scattered cultural sites including Jenkins Chapel and Mt Hermon Ch. Resource extraction is evident through the presence of several Gas Wells located near Crab Run and Mine Hollow Run. The numerous small cemeteries marked throughout the hollows, along with the distinct Blue Hole Picnic Area, provide a detailed record of the rural community structure in the late twentieth century.
