About this map

Doe Hill and Sirons Mill serve as the primary focal points of this settlement pattern in the Virginia highlands, positioned where the Bullpasture River and Mill Run cut through the high ridges. The landscape is defined by the massive spine of Jack Mountain and the expansive George Washington National Forest, which blankets the eastern slopes. Evidence of early industry and community life is grounded in labels for Hiner Mill and the Totten Cem, while numerous water sources like Hiner Springs and Sanders Farm Spring indicate the importance of reliable hydrology in this mountainous terrain.

The state line between West Virginia and Virginia bisects the northern reaches of the map, separating the drainages of the S Fork S Br Potomac River and the Cowpasture River. This area is marked by significant elevation changes, with Thorn Mtn and Bullpasture Mtn framing narrow agricultural valleys. The road network, including State Rte 618 and Jack Mountain Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated hollows like Botkin Hollow to the river-valley settlements.
