2019 Map of Falling Spring

About this map

Falling Spring Valley dominates this landscape on the border of Bath and Alleghany counties, where the Jackson River carves a deep path through the Allegheny Mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridges such as Bolar Mtn, Coles Mtn, and Warm Springs Mtn, which frame narrow hollows and drafts. Human settlement follows the water and lower gaps, with small communities like Falling Spring, Carloover, and Tinkertown situated along the valley floor. Transportation across the river is facilitated by several named crossings, including McAllister Bridge, Kelly Bridge, and Smith Bridge, linking the scattered homesteads and ridges.
