About this map

McDowell and Doe Hill anchor this portion of Highland County, where the ridges of the Allegheny Mountains dictate the movement of water and travelers alike. The Bullpasture River winds through the valley floor, joined by tributaries such as Crab Run and Davis Run. The settlement pattern follows these narrow corridors, with small communities like Clover Creek and Trimble situated along the base of massive landforms including Jack Mountain and Bullpasture Mtn.

Genealogists will find the Hamilton Church Cem near Big Valley, a site marking local heritage in this high-altitude landscape. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring named gaps and hollows like Seldom Seen Hollow and Claylick Hollow. Transportation is confined to historic routes like the Highland Tpke, which cuts through the mountains to connect these isolated settlements. The map illustrates a rural landscape where family-named features such as Hupman Valley and Mt Carlyle highlight the deep roots of the local population.
