1966 Map of Falling Spring

A notable shift in the local infrastructure is visible near the Gorge, where the Jackson River passes through a deep cut in the terrain. The presence of rural landmarks such as Emory Ch and Union Chapel suggests established community centers that persist even as the landscape underwent significant change with the creation of the reservoir. To the south, the settlement of Falling Spring and the curious Natural Well landmark highlight the unique geological and social character of the Bath and Alleghany county line.
