About this map

Jack Mountain and Shenandoah Mountain dominate this 1920s topography, framing a landscape of ridges and deep drainage basins along the West Virginia and Virginia border. In this era, small upland communities supported a network of local institutions, evidenced by the numerous mountain schools such as Laurel Hill School, Lone Oak School, and Mt Hall School. The settlement at Palo Alto sits near the confluence of Spring Run and the South Fork, serving as a focal point for the surrounding hollows.
