About this map

Wild Meadow and the surrounding ridgelines of the Virginia-West Virginia border are meticulously documented in this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by its industrial and topographic complexity, featuring a series of subterranean passages including Moore Tunnel, Kelly Tunnel, and Lake Tunnel situated near the prominent Backbone ridge. In the southeastern corner, the Stack Mine sits near the winding course of Dunlap Creek, pointing to the region's history of resource extraction.

Transportation corridors like Hoke Rd and Slash Lick Run Rd navigate the steep elevation changes between peaks like Batick Mountain and Brushy Mountain, where the Brushy Mountain Lookout provides a strategic vantage point. The drainage patterns of Jerrys Run and Moss Run reveal a network of hollows and drafts, such as Cannonball Hollow and Thacker Draft, that have long dictated the movement and settlement of this borderland terrain.
