2023 Map of Glengary

About this map

Back Creek winds through the eastern valley of this landscape, anchoring several small communities along the border of West Virginia and Virginia. The terrain is defined by the massive north-south ridge of Sleepy Creek Mtn, which separates the drainage of Middle Fork Sleepy Creek from the expansive Meadow Branch wilderness. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural burial grounds, including the Shanghai Presbyterian Cem and the Shockeysville United Methodist Church Cem at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle. A unique geological and historical marker, the Shanghai Sulphur Well Spring, sits near the base of Leading Ridge, reflecting the area's natural mineral resources. The map also documents modern land use, such as the Michaels Farms Airport near Glengary, alongside traditional mountain landmarks like Pee Wee Point and High Rock.
