2013 Map of Monterey

About this map

The town of Monterey serves as the central hub of this Highland County landscape, where the convergence of Us-220 and Us-250 anchors a network of mountain roads. The terrain is defined by high ridges like Lantz Mountain and Monterey Mountain that channel the headwaters of the S Br Potomac River and Strait Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural Appalachian pattern of narrow valley settlements, including New Hampden and Possum Trot, where family-named landmarks such as Trimble Knob and Miracle Ridge break the high elevation. Distinctive local features like Hannah Field Airport and the tiny alleyways of Sieg Aly and Mill Aly in the village center offer precise details for those studying the modern footprint of these long-established mountain communities. The hydrology is particularly intricate here, with numerous runs like Burners Run and Crab Run feeding the larger creek systems that define the area's geography.
