About this map

Fairy Stone State Park and the sprawling waters behind Philpott Dam dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the Smith River is impounded to form a complex of inlets and islands including Goose Pt and Turkey Island. To the north, the terrain rises toward the Blue Ridge Parkway, which skirts the western edge near Smart View Park. The area is characterized by a dense network of mountain communities and remote schools such as the Phoebe Needles Memorial Sch and Ferrum Jr College.

Cultural landmarks like the House of Prayer and numerous rural congregations—such as St Pauls Ch and Goblintown Ch—point to the established social fabric of the mid-20th century. The Norfolk and Western railway corridor serves the eastern edge of the quadrangle, passing through Ferrum and Prilliman, while numerous mountain creeks like Runnett Bag Creek and Shooting Creek drain the high ridges of the Floyd and Franklin County line.
