2011 Map of Eggleston

About this map

New River carves a deep path through this Virginia landscape, anchored by the riverside settlements of Eggleston and Berton. The terrain is defined by high ridges like Butt Mountain and Johns Creek Mountain, which frame a complex hydrologic system featuring the natural Mountain Lake and the unusual drainage patterns of Creek Sinks. Local history is visible in the network of rural roads such as Old Stage Rd and Old Ferry Rd, connecting generational landmarks like Hoges Chapel and several community burial grounds including Boyds Chapel Cemetery. The presence of Goodwins Ferry on the river and the Cascades Picnic Area near Little Stony Creek highlights the area's long-standing relationship between its water resources and the local population. Researchers will find a rural landscape where traditional mountain geography meets historical river crossings and established church communities.
