About this map

Sunrise sits along the banks of Back Cr in this rural pocket of Bath County, Virginia. The landscape is defined by its numerous named drainage patterns and hollows, including Joe Hollow and Dam Hollow, which feed into the central waterway. To the east, the Jackson River cuts through the terrain near Birch Run and Ned Hollow, while the higher elevations are marked by distinctively named peaks such as Mad Sheep, Mad Tom, and Berry Knob.

The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on the narrow valley corridors, with State Rte 600 and State Rte 623 providing the primary transit routes through the mountains. Local history is etched into the landscape through descriptive landmark names like Chestnut Levels and Fodder House. For those tracking historical land use, the presence of the Bratton Mc Guffin Trl and various mountain gaps like Gap Run illustrate the enduring paths used to navigate this portion of the Alleghenies.
