About this map

Peters Mountain and Big Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Monroe County, West Virginia, and Giles County, Virginia. The 2016 survey documents a terrain dominated by the Jefferson National Forest, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through complex topography between White Rock Mtn and Potts Mountain. Local settlements such as Rock Camp and Interior are tucked into the valleys, while family legacies are preserved at sites like the Ballard-Harvey Cem and Fortner Cem.

Genealogists and researchers will find value in the specific placement of the Kire Community Cem near the small community of Kire, located beneath Kire Mtn. Industrial and navigational history is marked by the Stony Creek Lookout Tower atop the ridge and remote landmarks such as White Pine Lodge, reflecting the intersection of public forest management and private landholdings in the Appalachian highlands.
