About this map

The linear ridges of the Ridge-and-Valley province dominate this 1990s survey, where Third Hill Mountain and Sleepy Creek Mountain partition the drainage of Sleepy Creek and Back Creek. Much of the central terrain is dedicated to the Sleepy Creek State Wildlife Management Area, preserving a landscape of dense woods and high points like High Rock and Pee Wee Point. Outside the state lands, the rural character of the West Virginia-Virginia border is defined by crossroads settlements and country institutions.

Local history is anchored by Glengary, Ganotown, and Shanghai, the latter featuring the Shanghai Beacon on the slopes of Leading Ridge. The map documents numerous community landmarks, including the Back Creek Valley Sch and Mt Carmel Ch, alongside smaller family and church sites like Greenwood Ch. This late-century topographic update captures a region where agriculture and recreation meet the steep slopes of Timber Ridge and Warm Springs Ridge.
