About this map

Warm Springs and West Warm Springs serve as the central hub of this Bath County landscape, where the waters of Warm Springs Run follow the valley floor. The map highlights a network of small residential clusters and named settlements like Bacova, Mitchelltown, and Thomastown, often situated near water sources such as Jerry Run or along the winding paths of State Rte 687. The Jackson River carves through the western terrain, passing near the Warwick Mansion and the Hidden Valley Campground, illustrating a long-standing relationship between the valley's inhabitants and its river systems.

Local history is embedded in the nomenclature of the ridges and hollows, from the namesake Chimney Run to the Warm Springs Cemetery. The presence of the Lake Bacova Dam and the distinctively named Switch Back area reflect the engineered adaptations required by the steep terrain of Cobbler Mountain and Warwick Mountain. This 2011 record documents a community defined by its proximity to thermal springs and the persistence of small, named crossroads.
