About this map

Williamsville sits at the heart of this Bath County survey, situated where the Bullpasture River begins its final run toward the Cowpasture River. The landscape is defined by long ridges and deep drafts, a characteristic Appalachian terrain where human settlement follows the narrow valley floors. To the south, Fort Lewis marks a point of historic habitation along the river banks, while the small community of Patna occupies the northern reaches.

The presence of the Coursey Springs State Fish Hatchery near Williamsville highlights the importance of the region's cold-water springs and clear mountain streams like Mill Run and Pheasanty Run. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks including North Sister Knob and South Sister Knob, and the dramatic Bullpasture Gorge. Geologic features such as the Water Sinks along Sinking Cr demonstrate the area's karst topography, where surface water vanishes into subterranean channels.
