1968 Map of Doe Hill

About this map

The Bullpasture River valley serves as a primary corridor for settlement in this 1960s landscape, anchored by the community of Doe Hill. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small churches and river crossings, including McKendree Ch and Sirons Mill. To the west, the steep slopes of Jack Mountain rise sharply, while the George Washington National Forest covers the southeast, where the Cowpasture River and Carroll Draft drain the wooded terrain. This survey is particularly detailed regarding agricultural property lines, using fine red dashed lines to represent fences and field boundaries visible from the air. These markers, along with multiple family-named features like Totten Chapel and Botkin Ridge, provide significant material for genealogists and land use historians studying the Highland County backcountry.
