About this map

Rimel and Mountain Grove anchor this 2013 survey of the Virginia and West Virginia borderlands, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The terrain's complexity is reflected in names like Sapling Woods Hollow, Schoolhouse Hollow, and O'Farrell Hollow, many of which suggest early family settlements and land use patterns. Modern recreation and conservation are evident at Lake Moomaw, the Pocahontas Picnic and Campground, and Blowing Springs Campground.

High-altitude landmarks such as the High Top Lookout Tower overlook the headwaters of the Jackson River and Back Creek. The map documents established infrastructure like McClintic Bridge and the Lemon Hollow Work Camp, alongside historical place names such as Buckhorn Quarters and Mooretown. This topography illustrates the enduring isolation of these mountain drainages, where life followed the contours of Snake Valley and Kellison Ridge.
