About this map

Backbone and Wild Meadow anchor this 2013 topographic study of the Alleghany County highlands. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridges, such as Panther Ridge and Batick Mountain, which dictate the paths of numerous waterways like Slash Lick Run, Jerrys Run, and Moss Run. A notable concentration of subterranean engineering is evident near the southern edge of the sheet, where Kelly Tunnel, Moore Tunnel, and Lake Tunnel indicate industrial or rail transport through the base of the mountains.

Modern infrastructure follows the historical contours of the land, with Hoke Rd and Jerrys Runs Rd winding through the gaps. High-elevation vantage points are highlighted by the Brushy Mountain Lookout, while curious local nomenclature like Pond Suck Hollow, Thacker Draft, and Cannonball Hollow offers specific geographic markers for those researching the land use and folk geography of this Virginia-West Virginia border region.
