About this map

Clover Creek and the settlement of Trimble anchor this 2013 study of the Highland County highlands, where the Bullpasture River carves through the Appalachian ridges. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and narrow valleys, such as Hupman Valley and Claylick Hollow, which have long dictated the placement of mountain roads and small homesteads.

Major peaks like Sounding Knob, Jack Mountain, and Bear Mountain dominate the terrain, separated by drainage systems such as Crab Run and Davis Run. For local historians and researchers, the map provides a precise look at modern access routes like Va-678 and Va-614 as they navigate the ridges and hollows, including the evocatively named Seldom Seen Hollow. The distribution of these features reflects a rural Virginia landscape where geography remains the primary driver of development and transport.
