1969 Map of Mc Dowell

About this map

McDowell sits at the western foot of Bullpasture Mountain where Crab Run joins the Bullpasture River, serving as a focal point for this 1969 survey of Highland County. The landscape is defined by parallel ridges including Shaws Ridge and Shenandoah Mountain, creating a drainage pattern of countless drafts and prongs. Near the center of the sheet, the Columbia Union College Biological Station is situated along the Cowpasture River, illustrating the area's scientific and educational value within the George Washington National Forest. Small settlements like Head Waters and Liberty anchor the rural valleys, while family names are preserved through landmarks such as Hiner Ch and Sittlington Hill. In the south, the Highland Wildlife Management Area covers a significant portion of the river bottom, indicating a shift toward conservation and public land management in the late twentieth century.
