2013 Map of Irving College

About this map

Irving College sits as a central settlement in this portion of Warren County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Collins River. The river's path is marked by historic crossing points like Martins Ford and tucked-away river bends such as Isleford. The topography here is a complex arrangement of high ridges and deep hollows, including Nunley Mountain to the west and Harrison Ferry Mountain to the northeast. Small, distinct communities like Steppsville, Safley, and Mount Olive are connected by a network of rural routes such as Shiloh Rd and Walker Rd. Family-named landmarks are prevalent across the terrain, seen in features like Wanamaker Cove, Stepp Knob, and Hughes Cove. Educational and recreational history is represented by the presence of Camp Woodlee near the riverbanks, while the eastern reaches are dominated by the elevations of Brown Mountain and the karst drainage of Big Sink.
