2013 Map of Callaghan

About this map

Callaghan and Stonewall anchor this Alleghany County landscape, where the transport corridor of Interstate 64 and the CSX railroad follow the natural path carved by Dunlap Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and family-named hollows, including Bear Hollow and Kittenger Hollow, which rise toward the heights of Lick Mountain and Lukes Mountain. Near the confluence of these waterways, the Humpback Covered Bridge stands as a notable landmark, while the Mud Tunnel reflects the engineering required to navigate the mountain passages. To the east, the map captures the residential expansion of Westwood Place and Oakwood Forest on the outskirts of Covington. The hydrology is particularly dense, with numerous tributaries like Thorny Br and Harmon Run feeding into the Jackson River, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Virginia highlands during the early 21st century.
