About this map

Simpsons and the surrounding high country of Floyd Co define this mid-century portrait of the Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is marked by a network of small settlements and isolated crossroads, where life centered on local institutions like Smiths Chapel, Pine Forest Ch, and Mt Olivet Ch. The terrain is deeply carved by the South Fork Roanoke River and numerous tributaries such as Goose Creek and Bottom Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped local travel and agriculture.
