About this map

New Castle serves as the primary hub of this 2013 survey, situated where Johns Cr and Craig Cr converge at the foot of Little Mountain. This Virginia landscape is defined by the narrow, fertile Craig Creek Valley, which supports several small rural settlements such as Charlton, Given, and Barbours Creek. The area's legacy as a destination for healing and industry is preserved through labels for Virginia Mineral Springs and the Fenwick Mines Campground, indicating the deep-rooted connections between the local geology and human development.

Outdoor recreation and administrative footprints are prominent, with the Managers Depot and the The Pines Horse Corral tucked near Rocky Knob. The rugged topography, rising to summits like Bald Mountain and Broad Run Mountain, has historically channeled movement along the creek beds, a pattern still evident in the placement of Marshalltown and the various forest service roads. This map documents a community where small-town agriculture and Appalachian terrain dictate the layout of roads and hamlets.
