2022 Map of Mountain Grove

About this map

Mountain Grove and Mooretown anchor the eastern slopes of the Allegheny Mountains on this recent survey, where the Jackson River flows south into the upper reaches of Lake Moomaw. This high-country landscape is defined by the sharp border between the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia and the George Washington National Forest in Virginia. The area's deep history is marked by quiet family landmarks like the Mountain Grove Cem and the McClintic Family Cem, while the rugged geography is carved by countless drafts and hollows such as Buckhorn Draft and Revercomb Hollow. A network of historic paths, including the Allegheny Mountain Trail # 611 Trl, follows the ridgelines, preserving the corridors used for generations to traverse these high gaps. The southern edge of the sheet reaches Bacova Junction, showing the transition from mountain wilderness to the valley's edge.
