About this map

Boones Mill anchors the northern portion of this Franklin County landscape, where the waters of Maggodee Cr flow through a valley defined by the steep slopes of Cahas Mtn. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, particularly through an extensive collection of small burial grounds such as the Pate Cem, Abshire Cem, and Donahoo Cem. These sites, often situated near modern routes like State Rte 735, provide a clear view of the ancestral settlement patterns of the region.

Further south, the landscape shifts toward the Blackwater River and the communities of Gogginsville and Dugwell. This area is characterized by a strong presence of the Church of the Brethren, evidenced by the Germantown Brick Church of the Brethren Cem and Oak-Grove Church of the Brethren Cem. These landmarks, alongside features like Carolina Springs Cem, offer local historians a detailed look at the social and religious centers that have shaped this part of Virginia for generations.
