2011 Map of Gilboa

About this map

Gilboa and its neighboring hamlets sit within a landscape defined by the intricate tributaries of Peters Creek, as shown in this 2011 documentation. The area exhibits a pattern of small settlements and post offices, including Drennen and Poe, linked by a network of winding roads like Keenan Br Rd. Cultural landmarks such as the Lone Star Lookout Tower and Dillys Mill Boy Scout Camp Lake Dam point to the varied land use of the region, from forest management to youth recreation. In the southeast, the shoreline of Summersville Lake and the Peerless Eagle Dam at the Water Supply Reservoir illustrate the management of water resources. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the terrain, such as McClung Cemetery and Duling Cemetery, which offer valuable clues for tracing local family lines.
