About this map

New Castle serves as the northern hub of this landscape, situated along the banks of Meadow Creek and Craig Creek. The terrain is defined by the significant parallel ridges of North Mountain and Catawba Mountain, which separate the drainage basins of the area. A notable stretch of the Appalachian Trl traverses the southern peaks, crossing near the prominent McAfee Knob and Medley Camp.

Evidence of the region's historical social fabric is visible through sites like Roanoke Red Sulphur Springs and the Catawba Cemetery near the community of Catawba. Topographical curiosities such as The Murder Hole along Little Catawba Creek add unique character to the valley. Transportation is a mix of traditional routes like Blacksburg Rd and modern infrastructure, including the New Castle International Airport tucked into the valley north of Lick Branch.
