About this map

The Bullpasture River and Cowpasture River converge near Williamsville, where the dramatic Bullpasture Gorge cuts through the ridges of the Allegheny Mountains. This late 1960s study, updated with late 1970s aerial revisions, documents a landscape defined by mountain gaps and narrow river valleys. Community life is anchored by small settlements like Flood and Patna, alongside several rural houses of worship including Mt Zion Ch, Lockridge Memorial Ch, and Laurel Gap Ch.

The presence of the Coursey Springs State Fish Hatchery and the Highland Wildlife Management Area reflects the region's focus on conservation and natural resources. Notable landmarks such as Fort Lewis and the Lookout Tower on Shenandoah Mountain provide historical and geographic orientation within the George Washington National Forest. The map also captures several remote water features, including Poplar Reservoir and Browns Pond, tucked behind Tower Hill Mountain.
