About this map

Pelham Valley and the surrounding coves are defined by the winding course of the Elk River in this 2010 topographic survey. The landscape is dense with ancestral markers, featuring over two dozen family burial grounds such as Wilkinson Cemetery, Partin Cemetery, and Laxon Cemetery. These sites reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region, where family names are also preserved in local landmarks like Dickey Bottom and Bost Cove.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, crossing the river at historical points including Patterson Ford Bridge and Dabbs Ford. To the northwest, the edge of Woods Reservoir marks a significant hydrological feature, while the rugged elevation changes are highlighted by Wild Boar Bluff and Pull Tight Hill. The central hub of community service remains the Pelham Post Office, situated near the confluence of local roads and watercourses.
