2016 Map of Eggleston

About this map

The New River winds through the southwestern corner of this Giles County landscape, anchoring a region defined by dramatic elevation changes within the Jefferson National Forest. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with the communities of Pembroke, Eggleston, and Maybrook situated along the lower elevations. The geography is notable for its numerous family and community landmarks, such as Hoges Chapel and its associated Hoges Chapel Cem, alongside Mount Lebanon Cem. In the north, Mountain Lake sits high above the surrounding peaks of Johns Creek Mtn and Doe Mtn. A distinctive geological feature, the Creek Sinks, illustrates the complex drainage of Sinking Creek as it moves through the central valley. This detailed topographical record reveals the intersection of rural Virginia life and the steep ridges of the Appalachians, from the banks of the Spruce Run to the heights of Bald Knob.
