The official Appalachian Trail maps are essential hiking materials for both thru and section hikers. Each map is focused on the Appalachian Trail and overlaps with the neighboring maps, ideal for long-distance hikes and planning. The surrounding area and additional side trails are also included. An easy-to-use elevation profile shows the distance to the next campsite or shelter, side trails, and water sources. For added interest, maps indicate road crossings, waterfalls, and scenic areas. Maps are both water- and tear-resistant. The Southwest Virginia edition covers 170 miles from Pearisburg on the New River to the Tennessee state line south of Damascus, primarily through the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests and including the Mount Rogers National Recreational Area, in four maps on two sheets.

Maps 3 & 4: Southwest Virginia, Poor valley to Virginia-Tennessee Line Seven-color, 1:63, 360-scale topographic maps with 100 foot contour intervals. 1 inch = 1 mile.
