About this map

Stanleytown and Collinsville anchor the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the corridor of Virginia Ave. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered through the hills north of Bassett, where names like Hurt-Thompson Cem and Lipscomb-Thornton Cem indicate deep-rooted genealogical significance. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Smith River and the high points of Skelt Mtn and Juggs Gap.

Industry and transport are centered near the southern border, while the northern sections transition into more rural reaches around Oak Level and the Franklin Co line. Numerous minor waterways, including Little Reed Cr and Grassy Fork, drain the upland areas into the primary river valley. This survey provides an essential view of the region's mid-2010s infrastructure, showing the relationship between longstanding family burial grounds and the modern road networks that connect these communities.
