2011 Map of New Castle

About this map

New Castle sits at the confluence of Johns Creek and Craig Creek in this 2011 survey, serving as a hub for a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep water gaps. The map reveals the historical and recreational layers of the valley, from the industry-marked sites of Fenwick Mine and Fenwick Mines Campground to the medicinal history implied by Virginia Mineral Springs. Settlement patterns follow the winding path of Barbours Creek, where small communities like Marshalltown and the village of Barbours Creek are established. High points such as Bald Mountain and Broad Run Mountain flank the valley floors, while Camp Easter Seal and The Pines Campground highlight the area's modern role as a destination for outdoor activity. The presence of The Pines Horse Corral and various forest service routes indicates a landscape managed for both preservation and accessibility.
