Bassett and its surrounding communities in Henry County are centered along the Smith River in the southwestern portion of this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical footprint, evidenced by dozens of family-named cemeteries such as the Ramsey-Stanley-King Cemetery, Hurt-Thompson Cemetery, and Gardner-Ramsey Cemetery. This concentration of family burial grounds suggests a history of long-tenured kinship groups and ancestral homesteads scattered across the hills near Fork Mountain and Skelt Mountain.
