About this map

Chico sits at the center of this rural landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems and significant energy infrastructure. The map reveals a transition from the western reaches of Lake Bridgeport toward the undulating terrain of Doc Gan Hollow. To the north and east, the industrial character of Wise County is clear through the extensive footprints of the Alvord Oil Field and the Miles Jackson Oil Field, illustrating the region's reliance on mineral extraction.

Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Cumber Cemetery in the north and Olive Branch Cemetery to the west, providing fixed points for local family histories. The hydrologic map is particularly detailed, tracing the winding paths of Village Creek, Willow Creek, and Venchoner Creek as they feed into the larger reservoir system. Near the southern border, the Peach Hill Plant Dam and Peach Hill Lake highlight local water management and industrial processing sites essential to the area's development.
