The Roanoke River carves a deep valley between the industrial and residential hubs of Altavista and Hurt, serving as the primary geographic anchor for this 2013 survey. The settlement pattern reveals the expansion of Altavista through named neighborhoods like Moseley Heights, Forest Hill, and Beverly Heights, while the southern reaches transition into the more rural character of Sycamore and Motley.
