About this map

Rawley Springs sits at the foot of the Alleghenies where the Dry River meets the mountains, serving as a gateway to the dense ridges of the George Washington National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with named peaks like Riven Rock Mtn and Feedstone Mtn flanking deep ravines such as Hopkins Hollow and Dull Hunt Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates how the water management of the region is integrated into the terrain, featuring the Harrisonburg Reservoir and the Lower North River Site 82 Lake.

Historically significant for its mountain passage, the area is bisected by the Rawley Pike, which follows the river's natural course. Local landmarks like Blue Hole and the Oak Grove Cem provide points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The presence of features like Clines Hacking and multiple fire-road access points like Long Run Rd reflects the long-standing management of these timberlands and watershed areas.
