Elliston and Lafayette anchor this modern survey of the Montgomery and Roanoke County border, where the North Fork Roanoke River and South Fork Roanoke River converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Poor Mtn and Bent Mtn, with numerous hollows like Pedlar Hollow and Deyerle Hollow cutting through the terrain. The presence of the Norfolk Southern rail line and major thoroughfares like Roanoke Rd follow the valley floor, illustrating the persistent importance of this river corridor for transportation. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites documented, including Duckwiler Cem near Wabun and Craighead Cem further south. The Blue Ridge Parkway skirts the southeastern corner of the sheet, marking the transition into the high ridges of the Virginia mountains.
