1961 Map of Sunrise

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Sunrise settlement sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, tucked between the slopes of Little Mountain and the water of Back Creek. The landscape is defined by the overlap of the George Washington National Forest and the Monongahela National Forest, where the state line divides West Virginia and Virginia. The drainages here are complex, with dozens of named runs and hollows such as Sawmill Run, Hacker Run, and Saw Pit Hollow feeding into the main valley. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Sively Cem, Lightner Cem, and Boyle Cem. The presence of the Zion Hill Ch and unique localized place names like Fodder House and Chestnut Levels suggest a history of high-country agriculture and logging in this corner of Bath and Highland Counties.
