About this map

Craigsville and Fordwick serve as the primary population centers along the northeastern edge of this Augusta County terrain, where the mountain topography of the George Washington National Forest meets the valley floor. The settlement of Bells Valley lies further southwest, connected by the Millard Burke Memorial Hwy as it follows the course of the Calfpasture River. The landscape is defined by a series of parallel ridges and deep drafts, including Walker Mountain and Great N Mtn, which frame narrow corridors like Estaline Valley.

Transport and community life are grounded in the drainage patterns of the Little Calfpasture River and landmarks such as the Wilson Bridge and the Craigsville Memorial Cem. Researchers can trace the specific street grid of Craigsville, including Central Ave and Hancock St, while the surrounding forest is marked by remote gaps and hollows like Ramsey Gap and Kirtz Hollow, illustrating the enduring intersection of rural Virginia industry and protected wilderness.
