About this map

Monterey serves as the focal point of this Highland County landscape, situated where the Mountain Tpke and Potomac River Rd intersect near the Highland County Courthouse. The town is framed by significant topographical features, including the distinct volcanic-shaped Trimble Knob and the long ridgeline of Monterey Mtn. To the north, the headwaters of the S Br Potomac River flow through Bluegrass Valley, a region defined by high-elevation agriculture and small communities like New Hampden.

The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by the steep slopes of Jack Mountain and the George Washington National Forest, where smaller settlements such as Doe Hill and Possum Trot occupy the narrow valley floors. The drainage pattern of Strait Cr and its tributaries, including W Strait Cr, reveals the deep-cut hollows and high ridges that characterize this part of the Appalachian range, stretching toward landmarks like Barren Rock and Devils Backbone.
