About this map

Cumberland Knob stands as a prominent landmark along the border of North Carolina and Virginia in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including the Fisher River and the eastern and western forks of Chestnut Cr. Settlements such as Edmonds, Ennice, and Barrett are connected by a network of winding roads like NC-1443 and Va-850, reflecting the rural character of the region.

Evidence of the local agricultural and recreational economy is visible through features like Meadow Creek Dairy and the Crestview Golf Course. Named high points like Hampton Knob, Edwards Hill, and Davis Knob provide topographic context for the area's many small communities. To the north, McKnights Mill sits near the crossing of Piney Cr, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the ridges of Saddle Mountain and the steep terrain of High Piney Spur.
