2011 Map of Mountain Grove

About this map

Bolar Mountain and the surrounding ridgelines of the Allegheny Mountains define this landscape along the Virginia and West Virginia border. The map details a rural, high-elevation environment characterized by narrow valleys like Ryder Hollow and Kellison Hollow, where small settlements such as Mountain Grove and Rimel are situated near vital water sources. The Jackson River cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, crossed by the Mcclintic Bridge. Historical land use is visible through family-named landmarks like John Landes Hollow and Stewart Hollow, while the presence of Schoolhouse Hollow suggests the locations of former local institutions. Recreational and monitoring sites are prominent features, including the High Top Lookout Tower standing over the western ridges and the Blowing Springs Campground situated along Back Creek.
