2016 Map of Gap Mills

About this map

Gap Mills serves as a central hub in this corner of Monroe County, situated where Second Cr and Kitchen Cr converge within the Sweet Springs Valley. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Peters Mtn to the southeast, part of the Jefferson National Forest, and the prominent Hanging Rock overlook. This area is characterized by its numerous natural water sources, including the distinct Gap Mills Spring and the Turkey Creek Springs near the settlement of Crimson Springs. Local heritage is anchored by sites like the Gap Mills Cem and the Gap Mills Ruritan Memorial Bridge. Smaller settlements such as Hillsdale, Dorr, and Hollywood are connected by a network of rural routes including Co RD 11 and Zenith RD Co RT 29, illustrating a persistent pattern of highland valley farming and forestry.
