Noble Furnace, Eagle Furnace, and Raven Cliff Furnace stand as industrial landmarks along the waterway of Cripple Creek, reflecting the iron production history of this corner of Wythe County. The landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley terrain, where small settlements like Shiloh, Henley, and Huddle are connected by a network of rural routes such as Mule Hell Rd and Farm Rd. To the south, the topography rises toward Ewing Mountain and Little Horse Heaven, with numerous drainages like Francis Mill Creek and Lick Creek carving through the hills. Genealogists may find interest in the centrally located Davis Cemetery or the community clusters at Cripple Creek town, while outdoor landmarks such as Raven Cliff Horse Camp and The Falls near Falls Branch highlight the area's natural features.
