About this map

Collierstown serves as a central point of settlement in this Rockbridge County landscape, where the confluence of Colliers Creek and Hayslette Creek shapes the local valley. The terrain is dominated by the distinctive summits of Big House Mountain and Little House Mountain, which rise between the drainages of Whistle Creek and Sugar Creek. These peaks provide a natural barrier between the northern community of Denmark and the southern area of Effinger.

Religious and family history is anchored by several rural landmarks, including Kerrs Creek Ch, Mt Moreland Ch, and the Hartbarger Cem near Waterloo. The survey captures the division between the George Washington National Forest and the Jefferson National Forest along the western ridges. Of particular note for researchers are the fine red dashed lines indicating old fence and field lines, offering a rare view of mid-century agricultural boundaries before later land consolidation.
