1998 Map of Eggleston

About this map

Goodwins Ferry and Eggleston anchor the western edge of this landscape where the New River carves through the Appalachian terrain. The map documents a rural network of small communities and religious centers, such as Hoges Chapel and Maybrook, connected by winding roads through the Jefferson National Forest. High-elevation landmarks like Bald Knob and the Mountain Lake Biological Station of University of Virginia overlook the waters of Mountain Lake. The area's limestone geology is evident in the numerous springs and the subterranean drainage of Sinking Creek. Local history and genealogy are preserved through numerous sites like the Lucas Memorial Cem Ch, Mt Lebanon Ch, and Newport Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns along Spruce Run and Doe Creek.
