2011 Map of Arnett

About this map

Marsh Fork and Rock Creek define the geography of this Raleigh County region, where deep-seated family roots are preserved in dozens of hillside burial grounds. The map reveals a settlement pattern dictated by the winding valley floors, with small communities like Arnett, Redbird, and Saxon linked by narrow routes such as Saxon Bolt Rd and Cove Creek Rd. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of named family cemeteries, including the Pettry, Jarrell, and Scarbrough plots, which offer a clear record of the area's ancestral residents. High points such as Ivy Knob are marked by the Ivy Knob Lookout Tower, overlooking a landscape characterized by sharp ridges like Peachtree Ridge and the Skinned Poplar Gap pass. Local post offices in Dry Creek and Bolt serve as centers for these small mountain enclaves.
