2010 Map of Callaway

About this map

The Blue Ridge mountains dominate this part of Franklin County, where the headwaters of the Blackwater River begin their descent. Small communities like Algoma and Callaway are connected by a network of winding mountain roads such as Callaway Rd and Dillons Mill Rd, reflecting a landscape of narrow valleys and high ridges. The map reveals a dense distribution of family-named burial grounds, including the Guerrant-Callaway Cemetery and Jamison-Prillaman Cemetery, which point to deep ancestral roots in the region. Hydrological features are prominent, with the North Fork Blackwater River and South Fork Blackwater River converging near Dillons Mill. This 2010 survey also highlights modern infrastructure alongside traditional terrain, including the Blackwater River Number Four Dam and the high overlooks of Devils Backbone along the Blue Ridge Pkwy.
