About this map

Middle Mountain and Little Mountain dominate this corner of the Virginia-West Virginia border, framing the long, narrow corridor of Back Valley. The landscape is defined by its freshwater sources, featuring numerous named springs such as Charles Patton Spring, Allison Farm Spring, and Ewin Run Spring that feed the local creek systems. These water sources likely dictated the placement of early homesteads and community centers in this mountain terrain.

Rural infrastructure is concentrated along Waiteville Rd and Sweet Springs Vly, where historic community anchors like Sweet Springs Church and Pine Grove Church are situated. To the northwest, Moncove Lake serves as a significant hydrologic feature near the headwaters of Devil Cr. The map details a network of forest and county roads, including Natl Forest Rd, which provide access to the higher elevations of Nicholson Knob and the surrounding woodlands.
