Atkins and Mount Carmel anchor the northern landscape of this Smyth County study, where the Middle Fork Holston River winds through Mitchell Valley alongside the Wytheville Community College-Smyth County Education Center. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Jefferson National Forest, including Chestnut Mtn and Brushy Mtn, which separate the northern river valley from the southern reaches of Rye Valley. Numerous family-named cemeteries such as Hutton - Cox Cem, James Family Cem, and McGhee Cem are scattered throughout the hollows, indicating long-standing settlement patterns in the gaps of Sheep Ridge and Hickory Ridge.
