2013 Map of Rocky Gap

About this map

Rocky Gap serves as the primary junction in this mountain corridor, where the waters of Wolf Cr and Clear Fork converge. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, extending from the namesake gap down toward South Gap. To the east, smaller hamlets like Pumpkin Center and Kimberling sit tucked along the drainage of Wilderness Cr and N Fork Kimberling Cr, illustrating the dispersed rural community structure of Bland County. The map details a landscape defined by significant watercourse networks, including the headwaters of Helveys Mill Cr and the Middle Fork Kimberling Cr. These streams were central to the early industrial and agricultural development of the region, providing the necessary power and access for remote settlements such as Point Pleasant located near the southern edge of the quadrangle.
