2013 Map of Looney

About this map

Webbs Mill and the crossroads of Looney anchor this mountainous section of Craig County, where the hydrology of Craig Cr and Sinking Cr has long shaped local movement. The terrain is dominated by the high ridgeline of Sinking Creek Mountain and prominent peaks like Earn Knob and Aps Knob. This landscape is marked by unusual geological and recreational features, including the notable cavern entrance at Murder Hole and the popular Dragons Tooth Trailhead near McAfee Gap. Small settlements like Abbott and Gunn appear along the valley floors, connected by a network of winding roads including State Rte 620 and Turnpike Cr. The presence of Meadow Creek Falls and the deep indentation of Millers Cove reflect a rugged Appalachian geography where early industrial sites like the mill at Webbs Mill were naturally positioned along the flowing waters of the gap.
