2011 Map of Blacksburg South

About this map

Silver Mine Ridge stands as a prominent topographical feature in this corner of Cherokee County, overlooking the Broad River as it winds past Goat Island and the Ninetynine Islands. The landscape is defined by the river's significant path and several notable peaks, including Draytonville Mountain and McKowns Mountain. The area north of the river is anchored by the community of Cherokee Falls and the southern reaches of Blacksburg, showing a mix of residential developments like Easterly Heights and Maplewood alongside industrial and recreational sites such as the Cherokee Speedway. Local history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Ross, Lipscomb, and Galilee. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways like London Creek, Peoples Creek, and Abingdon Creek, which have shaped the local settlement patterns and road networks throughout the early 21st century.
