About this map

Rock Camp and the small settlements of Interior and Kire anchor this 2011 survey of the border region between Monroe County, West Virginia, and Giles County, Virginia. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Little Mountain, Huckleberry Ridge, and Big Mountain, where the Appalachian Trl winds toward Bailey Gap and the Bailey Gap Shelter. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting local family history through the Ballard-Harvey Cemetery, Fortner Cemetery, and the Kire Community Cemetery.

Conservation and biological research are prominent themes in the southern portion of the quadrangle, which features the University of Virginia Mountain Lake Biological Station and the Virginia Division Game and Inland Fisheries Shop. Waterways such as Stony Creek and Rock Camp Creek carve through the terrain, supporting recreation sites like the Interior Picnic Area and the Stony Creek Lookout Tower.
