About this map

Minnehaha Springs serves as a central point of activity within this mountain landscape, located at the junction of several drainage systems. The settlement is flanked by the Monongahela National Forest and the George Washington National Forest, with the boundary between these public lands following the prominent ridges. Several small rural congregations are documented here, including Browns Creek Ch and Westminster Ch, alongside family-named burial sites such as Shinaberry Cem and McLaughlin Cem.

Transport and recreation are highlighted by the presence of Dourif Airport and Camp Minnehaha along the banks of Knapp Creek. The terrain is characterized by a series of parallel heights like Browns Mountain and Lockridge Mountain, which are carved by numerous named hollows and runs. The map also records the state border between West Virginia and Virginia as it traverses the eastern ridges near Little Back Creek.
