2013 Map of Bland

About this map

The town of Bland serves as a focal point in this Appalachian landscape, where the local road network fans out from Jackson St and Sed Don St. The topography is dominated by the massive presence of Little Walker Mountain and the high terrain of Town Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Walkers Creek Rd and the Little Creek Hwy. Waterways like Helveys Mill Cr and Walker Cr cut through the valleys, supporting small settlements and crossroads such as Point Pleasant and Carnot. The map reveals a high concentration of named water features, including Poplar Spring Br and Saint Lukes Fork, which descend from the ridges toward the settled coves. Crockett Cove in the south provides a window into the traditional land-use patterns of the region, where roads like Crocketts Cove Rd follow the natural contours of the mountain's base.
