About this map

The Smith River winds through the borderlands of Patrick and Franklin counties, carving a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek hollows. The settlement of Elamsville sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the map, while Charity occupies the central western hills. For local historians, this survey identifies numerous family burial grounds including Foley Cem, Goblintown Cem, and the McAlexander Cem, which are scattered throughout the drainages of Little Goblintown Cr and Rock Castle Cr.

A notable landmark is the Bob White Covered Bridge spanning the river near the western edge. The map also records small-scale aviation infrastructure at Bush Airport and prominent terrain features such as Chimney Rock and Poor Mtn. The intricate road network, featuring names like Pilson Sawmill Rd and Pendelton School Ln, provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and access points used by residents in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
