1995 Map of Minnehaha Springs

About this map

Minnehaha Springs and the surrounding wilderness of the Monongahela National Forest dominate this mid-1990s survey of the West Virginia and Virginia borderlands. The landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Browns Mountain and the winding course of Knapp Creek, which serves as a primary drainage for the numerous hollows such as Irvin Hollow and Hamilton Hollow. Along the waterway and nestled in the mountain gaps, small community anchors like Browns Creek Ch and Mt Carmel Ch appear alongside family-named burial sites including the Shinaberry Cem and McLaughlin Cem.
