About this map

Colliers Creek flows through a landscape defined by prominent ridges and quiet settlements on the eastern edge of the George Washington National Forest. The small community of Collierstown serves as a local hub, anchored by the Collierstown Cem and the Herbert B Chittum Bridge. To the north, the terrain is dominated by the twin peaks of Big House Mtn and Little House Mtn, which overlook the headwaters of Whistle Cr and Kerrs Cr.

Evidence of the area's rural heritage is found in the scattered hamlets of Maple Grove, Denmark, and Effinger, and the presence of numerous family burying grounds including Hartbarger Cem and Oxford Cem. The map shows a transition from the protected forest lands of the Jefferson National Forest to the managed waters of Lake Robertson, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land use in this part of Rockbridge County.
