About this map

The Jackson River meanders through the heart of the Alleghany Highlands, anchoring a landscape of industrial heritage and residential growth. This 2013 survey of Covington and its surrounding communities showcases the intense concentration of settlements along the river valley, from the established neighborhoods of Rivermont and Edgemont to the smaller pockets at Harrington and Intervale. The topography is dominated by significant ridgelines such as Peters Ridge and Fore Mountain, which channel local development and infrastructure into the narrow lowland corridors.

Industrial and natural landmarks define the outlying areas, notably the Rich Patch Mines tucked into the southern hills and the landmark Falling Spring Falls to the north. Transportation patterns are clearly visible where the Valley Ridge Rd corridor connects the main city to eastern settlements like Low Moor and Callaghan Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the modern layout of several suburban-style developments, including Fairlawn, Mallow, and Parrish Court, reflecting the local shift from early industrial centers toward broader residential expansion.
