2013 Map of Craigsville

About this map

Craigsville and the adjacent industrial area of Fordwick anchor this section of Augusta County, situated where the Calfpasture River and Little Calfpasture River drain the eastern slopes of the Alleghany Mountains. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp topographical contrasts, where narrow hollows like Sulphur Spring Hollow and Taylor Hollow lead into broader gaps and valleys. The presence of Casta Line Trout Farms and the Wilson Bridge near Bells Valley highlights the enduring importance of the river systems to local commerce and infrastructure. Transport routes follow the natural contours of the terrain, with Virginia Ave and the railroad corridor connecting these dispersed mountain settlements. This detailed study of the early 21st-century landscape preserves the locations of numerous family-named landmarks, from Kirtz Hollow to Wallace Draft, illustrating the persistent cultural geography of this Virginia highlands region.
