About this map

Rawley Springs sits at the foot of the mountains where the Dry River and Gum Run converge, serving as a gateway to the high ridges of the George Washington National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and named hollows, including Hopkins Hollow and Hughes Hollow. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Harrisonburg Reservoir, which captures the flow of the Dry River near Riven Rock Mountain.

Highland features such as Bald Knob, Second Mountain, and Gauley Ridge dominate the terrain, connected by a network of forest roads and trails like Second Mountain Trl and Long Run Rd. Unusual place names like Clines Hacking and White Oak Flat suggest historical land use and localized terrain characteristics that remain prominent in this modern topographic record. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, the Blue Hole on the Dry River marks a well-known local landmark along the route to the interior mountains.
