About this map

Sleepy Creek Mtn and Third Hill Mtn dominate the central landscape of this West Virginia and Virginia border region. The area is defined by sharp ridgelines and the winding course of Back Creek, which serves as a geographic anchor for the small rural communities of Glengary and Ganotown. A unique hydro-geological landmark, the Shanghai Sulphur Well Spring, is located near the settlement of Shanghai, suggesting a long-standing local awareness of the mineral properties in the valley's water table.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous family and community sites, including several well-distributed burial grounds such as Roe Chapel Cem and Mt Carmel Cem. Transportation is marked by a mix of modern county routes and older paths like the Historic Packhorse Trl, which cuts across the slopes of Third Hill Mtn. The map also captures the Michaels Farm Airport situated near the intersection of Apple Harvest Dr and Back Creek Valley Rd.
