2022 Map of Brierpatch Mountain

About this map

Spring Valley and the northern reaches of the Jefferson National Forest define this area of Grayson County, where the New River carves a deep, winding path through the Blue Ridge terrain. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Point Lookout Mtn, Brierpatch Mtn, and The Pilot, interspersed with hollows such as Kingdom Hollow. Small crossroads and historic sites are scattered throughout, including the settlement of Fallville and the Clito Mill site along Elk Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of several local burial grounds, including Jerusalem Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and Warrick Cem. The road network, featuring historic thoroughfares like Old Colonial Rd and Rabbit Hollow Rd, reveals the enduring rural structure of this mountain community, connecting disparate ridges and creek valleys like Knob Fork and Bull Run.
