2016 Map of Bracey

About this map

The Roanoke River and the expansive waters of Lake Gaston dominate this interstate border region between Virginia and North Carolina. This landscape is defined by its rural road network and dispersed small communities, including Bracey, Paschall, and Palmer Springs. Historically significant crossings and infrastructure are evident, such as the Goodes Ferry Bridge crossing the river near Beechwood. Local genealogy and community landmarks are represented by several burial grounds like Grace Cem and Saint Marks Cem, as well as the Martindale Executive Airpark. The presence of Paschall Station Rd hints at the area's older transportation ties. Numerous named tributaries like Smith Cr, Blue Mud Cr, and Reedy Br drain the undulating terrain, reflecting a landscape still shaped by its primary watercourses and agricultural boundaries.
