2022 Map of White Hall

About this map

Little North Mountain and North Mountain dominate this corner of Frederick County, where the Virginia and West Virginia state line cuts through the ridge at Dutton Gap. The landscape is defined by long, narrow valleys like Warm Springs Hollow and Frog Hollow, which historically channeled settlement and transportation along the base of these prominent heights. Small communities such as White Hall, De Haven, and Cedar Grove are clustered along these corridors, often centered around long-standing religious institutions like the Pine Grove United Methodist Church or the Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church. The map reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries like the Old Stone Church Cem and Chestnut Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Back Creek and its tributaries, including Babbs Run and Cattail Run, have shaped the agricultural layout of the area, notably along the fertile Apple Pie Ridge.
