Big A Mtn and the Tennessee Valley Divide define the high-relief landscape of this Appalachian region, where the border of Buchanan and Russell counties follows the primary ridgelines. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small hollows, indicative of the persistent kin-based settlement patterns characteristic of the Virginia coalfields. Communities like Council and Venia are connected by winding routes such as State Rte 600, which navigate around prominent terrain features like Combs Ridge and Stinson Ridge.
