About this map

The community of Dugspur sits amidst the drainage network of the Blue Ridge, where the boundaries of Floyd Co and Carroll Co meet. The landscape is defined by an exceptional density of family burial grounds, reflecting generations of kinship and local history. Named cemeteries such as the Hattie Marshall Cem, Ezra Marshall Cem, and Polly Ann Marshall Cem are clustered in the northern hills, while others like Mitchell Chapel Cem and Mount Hebron Cem suggest the spiritual centers of these mountain neighborhoods.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Big Reed Island Creek and Burks Fork carving through the terrain alongside Indian Ridge. The map documents a complex web of rural routes like Floyd Pike and Road Creek Ford Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and provide access to the various forks and branches, including Mira Fork and Laurel Fork. This detailed 2016 record serves as an essential tool for genealogists tracing the deeply rooted families of this Virginia highland region.
