1949 Map of Callaghan
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Anthony Creek and Dunlap Creek carve through the high ridges of the Alleghenies, where the border between West Virginia and Virginia meets amidst three national forests. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the winding path of Dunlap Creek, passing through engineering landmarks like the Moore Tunnel, Lake Tunnel, and Kelly Tunnel. At the western edge, the small settlement of Alleghany sits near the mountain summit, while the eastern valley is anchored by Covington and the Rayon Terrace development. Small rural communities such as Neola and Shryock are connected by forest roads, punctuated by local landmarks like Hokes Chapel and the Whites Draft Sch. This area's industrial past is visible at the Stack Mine and Backbone Siding, while fire detection efforts are noted at the Hopkins Fire Tower and Brushy Mtn Lookout.
