About this map

The Pound River flows through the northern reaches of this territory, where the town of Pound serves as a primary hub. The landscape is defined by the steep hollows and narrow gaps of the Appalachian highlands, such as Bean Gap, Indian Gap, and Duncan Gap. This 2013 survey records a geography where small settlements and general stores, including Lanes Store and Peaks Store, sit along winding secondary roads that follow the drainage patterns of creeks like Bold Camp Cr and Dotson Cr.

Central to the terrain is Bold Camp Mountain, flanked by numerous family-named hollows such as Baker Hollow, Cavenger Hollow, and Hash Hollow. These features reflect a long history of generational residency and small-scale land use. In the southern portion, the communities of Big Laurel and Hurricane are established near the headwaters of the Hurricane Br, while the curious landmark of Tank Hollow sits tucked away near Indian Cr.
