About this map

New River frontage and the winding course of Elk Creek define the settlement patterns of this corner of Grayson County. The landscape is dotted with rural communities that historically relied on the local waterways and mills, such as Clito Mill and Riverside. Transportation routes like State Rte 805 and Carsonville Rd connect these small hubs to the surrounding highlands, including the prominent heights of Brierpatch Mountain and Point Lookout Mtn.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of several local burial grounds, including Providence Cem, Warrick Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Jerusalem Cem. The northeastern portion of the map transition into the protected slopes of the Jefferson National Forest, where features like Stevens Knob and Bull Run mark the transition from river valley to high timberland. The map provides a precise record of late-2010s infrastructure, from the residential clusters at Fallville and Spring Valley to the more dispersed homesites along Peach Bottom Cr.
