2010 Map of Aspen Hill

About this map

Prospect Station and the Prospect Post Office anchor the southeastern corner of this Giles County landscape, where the local economy follows the winding paths of Richland Creek and the Elk River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Stovall Hollow and Yarborough Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and family cemeteries. Notable for its genealogical density, the map records numerous burial sites including the Stella Cemetery, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, and the Shores Cemetery. Water crossings like Minnow Ford on the East Fork Shoal Creek highlight the rural infrastructure of the era, while landmarks like Winding Stair Bluff and Adams Hill provide distinct topographic orientation within the complex valley system.
