1965 Map of Eggleston
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Mountain Lake sits high above the surrounding ridges, a rare natural feature in this section of the Jefferson National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the deeply carved valley of the New River, where the Norfolk and Western railway snakes along the water's edge through Eggleston and Pembroke. Evidence of the region's academic and social infrastructure is found at the University of Virginia Biological Station and several remote rural churches, including Hoges Chapel and Spruce Run Ch. Along Sinking Creek, the geography reveals unique drainage patterns where the water enters creek sinks near Maybrook. The terrain is strictly bounded by prominent heights like Butt Mountain and Gap Mountain, which define the narrow valleys that have historically funneled transportation and settlement in Giles County.
