2010 Map of Alum Ridge

About this map

Wangle Junction and the small settlement of Carthage anchor this rural landscape in Floyd County, Virginia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, where Little River and Big Indian Creek drain the countryside. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the naming of scattered family burial grounds, including White Rock Cemetery, Duncan Cemetery, and Mannon Cemetery. The area’s light aviation presence is notable, with Alum Ridge Stolport and Deer Run Airport situated near the headwaters of Easter Creek. The road network, often following the winding paths of branches like Huckleberry Creek and Spurlock Creek, connects older communities such as Duncan and Laurel Branch to the higher elevations of Mount Elbert.
