About this map

Abingdon stands as the central hub in this survey of southwestern Virginia, anchored by the Washington County Courthouse and numerous historic burial grounds like Sinking Spring Cem. The landscape transitions from the urbanized core of Scott Addition and Morningside Hills to the complex ridges of the Great Knobs and River Knobs. Transportation history is prominently visible via the Virginia Creeper Trl, which winds through the southern terrain toward the settlement of Alvarado and the waters of South Holston Lake.

Rural life is marked by numerous family cemeteries and small communities such as Parks Mill and Green Spring. The presence of the Old South Aerodrome near Watauga and the drainage patterns of Fifteenmile Cr reveal how the local topography has influenced both aviation and early industry. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on the established settlements and the natural hollows, such as Jordan Hollow and Wood Hollow, that define the region's character.
