2019 Map of Check
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
The mountain ridge country where Montgomery and Floyd Counties meet is characterized by high-elevation settlements and a complex web of headwater streams. Small communities like Check, Copper Hill, and Simpsons dot the landscape, connected by winding routes such as the Shawsville Pike NE. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, with numerous small burial grounds including Simpson Cem, Kefauver Cem, and Halls Cem situated near the headwaters of Meadow Run and Little River. This high plateau environment is also defined by the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which traces the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the broader valley of the South Fork Roanoke River near Piedmont to the higher, dissected peaks surrounding Hemlock.
