2022 Map of Interior
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Jefferson National Forest dominates this topographic study of the borderlands between Giles County, Virginia, and Monroe County, West Virginia. The landscape is defined by the high, parallel ridges of Peters Mountain and Potts Mountain, which channel the Appalachian National Scenic Trail along their crests and through Bailey Gap. Settlement is largely restricted to the northern valleys near Rock Camp and the eastern hollows of Kire. Genealogists will find several small family burial grounds, including the Elmore McAlarnis Family Cem and the Kessinger Family Cem, tucked into the folds of the mountains. To the south, the presence of the University of Virginia Mountain Lake Biological Station near Salt Pond Mtn indicates the area's ongoing importance for scientific research within this protected Appalachian corridor.
