About this map

The Cowpasture River winds through a landscape of prominent ridges and deep hollows within the George Washington National Forest. Small settlements like Millboro Springs and Copeland are situated along the valley floors, while historic sites such as Horeb Baptist Church Cem and Porter Cem offer clues for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by massive formations including Rough Mtn, Beards Mtn, and Mill Mtn, separated by features like Sugar Hollow and Hickman Draft. This map documents a region where the human footprint is primarily concentrated along the river and its tributaries, such as Pauls Cr and Lick Run. An extensive network of paths, including the Beards Mountain Trl and Orebank Trl, provides access through the protected forest lands and across the county lines of Bath, Alleghany, and Rockbridge.
