About this map

Warm Springs serves as the focal point of this 1930s topographic survey, situated at the base of the prominent Warm Springs Mountain. The landscape is defined by the tight valley of Warm Springs Run and the broader sweep of the Jackson River to the west. This era reveals a well-established network of small communities and social centers, including Mitchelltown and the industrial-residential pocket of Bacova.

Local history researchers can identify specific community landmarks like Chimney Run Ch and Mt Hope Ch, alongside educational sites like Thomastown Sch and The Gap Sch. The presence of Bacova Junction and State Highway No 804 illustrates the transportation infrastructure connecting these mountain settlements before mid-century modernizations. The detailed contouring highlights the numerous gaps and runs, such as Duane Gap and Muddy Run, that dictated the placement of early homesteads and roads.
