About this map

The Allegheny Mountains serve as a dramatic backdrop for this borderland where West Virginia and Virginia meet. The high ridgelines of Batick Mtn and Brushy Mtn define a landscape dominated by the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest. Settlement is concentrated in the southern valley near Alleghany, where the landscape transitions from steep wooded slopes to narrow hollows like Cannonball Hollow and Pond Suck Hollow.

Transportation through these peaks follows the water, with Hoke Rd tracing the path of Jerrys Run toward the state line. For local historians, the Jerrys Run Road Cem and the small clearing of Wild Meadow provide evidence of rural life tucked between the ridges. Numerous named drainages, including Whitmans Draft and Dunlap Creek, highlight the intricate watershed that carved this portion of the West Virginia and Virginia border.
