2022 Map of Boonsville

About this map

Boonsville serves as the primary settlement hub for this corner of Wise County, where rural life is defined by a landscape of creeks and small-scale water management. The terrain is marked by numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, including Site 12 and Site 4, which manage the drainage of waterways like Garrett Creek and South Fork Rush Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably rich in burial grounds, featuring the Boonsville Cemetery in town, and more remote locations like Oxford Water Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and the Gilley Cemetery. The road network, primarily composed of Farm to Market roads like FM 920 and FM 2210, connects these scattered homesteads and landmarks across a topography shaped by Salt Creek and the Oxford Water Branch.
