1933 Map of Warm Springs Run

About this map

Warm Springs and Hot Springs anchor this 1930s topographic study of the Alleghany mountain landscape in Bath County. The map details the valley floor where State Highway No 800 and State Highway No 804 navigate the steep rises of Warm Springs Mountain and Coles Mtn. This era shows a settled corridor of small communities and rural institutions, including Thomastown and Mitchelltown, alongside essential local landmarks like Mt Hope Ch and the Thomastown Sch. The Jackson River cuts a prominent path through the northwest, while numerous creeks like Muddy Run and Hot Springs Run drain the surrounding ridges. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the map captures the spatial relationship between the primary resorts and smaller hamlets such as Bacova and Bacova Junction before mid-century infrastructure changes.
