About this map

Dunlap Creek winds through the heart of this Alleghany County landscape, carving a valley that has long served as a primary transportation corridor through the Appalachian ridges. The settlement at Callaghan sits at the junction of these historical routes, where the Midland Trl follows the water's path toward the western gap. This 2019 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks of the region, including the notable Humpback Covered Bridge and the nearby Mud Tunnel, reflecting the engineering required to navigate this terrain.

Genealogists can locate family sites such as Hoke Cem and Helmintoller Cem, while the map also tracks the suburban expansion near Covington with residential developments like Westwood Place and Oakwood Forest. From the high ridges of Peters Mountain to the recreational waters at Dunlap Beach, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by both the George Washington National Forest and the industrial outskirts of the Jackson River valley.
