2019 Map of Cornwall

About this map

South River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and family-named ridges in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The map details the rural character of communities like Cornwall, Donaldsburg, and Marlbrook, where local life is organized around the winding paths of Irish Creek and Whitesides Run. For genealogists, the survey identifies critical landmarks including McDowell Cem, Timber Ridge Cem, and Clarks Mountain Cem, offering precise locations for ancestral research. The eastern boundary is defined by the high elevations of South Mtn and the iconic route of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which traverses the ridge near Whites Peak and Whites Gap. Further south, the map captures the outskirts of Buena Vista, showing the transition from the forested reaches of the George Washington National Forest to more established residential streets and industrial tracts.
