Jarman Gap: mountain pass in Virginia, USA
Originally a buffalo trail and Native American path, this Blue Ridge crossing was used by Michael Woods in 1734, and his family settled on its eastern slope; it became known as Woods' Gap. It was renamed Jarman Gap around 1800 after Thomas Jarman bought the property. The colonial Three Notch'd Road crossed here, and Confederate General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson moved troops through the gap in 1862.
