About this map

Collierstown and its surrounding mountain gaps define this mid-1960s survey of Rockbridge County. The landscape is dominated by the massive profiles of Big House Mountain and Little House Mountain, which tower over small farming communities and creek-side settlements like Waterloo and Denmark. Water remains the central organizing force for human activity, with Colliers Creek and Buffalo Creek carving paths through the terrain to support small centers like Effinger.

Genealogists will find significant local-history detail in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Kerrs Creek Ch, Spring Valley Ch, and Mt Moreland Ch. The map also captures several family-named burial sites such as Hartbarger Cem and the Oxford Cem. To the west, the Lake Robertson Recreational Area marks a shift toward public land use within the broader reaches of the George Washington National Forest.
