File:Forts of SW VA.jpg

User Created Map, based on Summers, 1929, Map of Southwest Virginia, part II This version shows the location of five of th principle forts erected during Dunmore's War, and used throughout the period of Indian Hostility in the area (1773-1792). An additional map will be provided showing the location of the two additional major Forts of this period. The forts shown here are thought to have been either palisaded structures, or at least Blockhouses. There were numerous smaller forts known as "Fort Houses" which were erected for the defense of single families. These will be shown on an additional map.
