About this map

Jackson River flows through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep mountain gaps along the border of West Virginia and Virginia. The settlement patterns here follow the water, with Vanderpool and Mustoe situated along the river's path, while the hamlet of Mill Gap marks a critical pass through the high ground of Little Mtn. The topography is exceptionally well-defined, showing the dramatic rise of Lantz Mtn and Back Creek Mtn which hem in narrow valleys like Sues Draft and Big Valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites at Fairview Cem and Griffin Cem, while the extensive reaches of the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest dominate the western and central heights. These public lands preserve a network of early routes and hollows, including Lynn Stand Hollow and Sheets Hollow, providing a clear record of the area's rural character.
