2011 Map of Callaghan

About this map

The Humpback Covered Bridge stands as a landmark over the waters of Dunlap Creek, anchoring a landscape defined by deep ridges and hollows in western Virginia. Settled areas like Callaghan, Stonewall, and Dunlap Beach follow the natural path of the creek valley, while newer developments such as Oakwood Forest and Westwood Place appear further east. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking the Hoke Cemetery near Ogle Creek and the Helmintoller Cemetery on the high ground south of the main creek. Industrial and infrastructure markers, including the Mud Tunnel and the Westvaco Number Two Flyash Lagoon Dam, highlight the intersection of the rugged Appalachian terrain with the regional economy. Numerous family-named hollows, such as Kittenger Hollow and Pond Suck Hollow, illustrate the long-standing local nomenclature of Alleghany County.
