About this map

Bullpasture River and its many tributaries carve a path through the ridges of Highland County, anchoring the small settlements of Clover Creek and Meadow Draft. This interior pocket of the Alleghenies is defined by parallel mountain chains, including Jack Mountain and Bear Mountain, which hem in narrow valleys where local life and agriculture are concentrated. The presence of Smith Field and various hollows, such as Seldom Seen Hollow and Vance Hollow, indicates the pockets of cleared land and family-named landmarks that have persisted in this landscape for generations.

Transportation remains tied to the terrain, with routes like Sounding Knob Rd and Hupman Valley Rd following the contours of the land. In the western portion of the map, Trimble sits near the headwaters of Dry Branch, while the southeastern corner is marked by the course of the Cowpasture River. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns, showing how runs like Crab Run and Davis Run feed into the primary river systems of this upland region.
