USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The South Fork Roanoke River and Little River anchor this topographic survey of the upland border between Floyd, Montgomery, and Roanoke counties. Long-established crossroads like Simpsons, Copper Hill, and Piedmont are central to the landscape, joined by narrow winding routes such as Shawsville Pike NE and Alleghany Spring Rd. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Halls Cem, Wilson Cem, and Simpson Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of the Blue Ridge. High elevations like Bent Mountain and Lick Ridge define the steep drainage patterns for numerous local runs, including Big Run and Bottom Creek. This record documents the enduring rural character of the region, where historical landmarks like Salem Church Cem remain prominent amidst the modern network of state and local roads.
