2010 Map of Fancy Gap

About this map

Blue Ridge terrain dominates this landscape, where the modern path of the Blue Ridge Pkwy winds through the hills near Fancy Gap. This survey reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small settlements that characterize the area's rural heritage. Names like the Fielden Worrell Cemetery, Quesenberry-Semones Cemetery, and Jack Allen Cemetery point to generations of local families established throughout the highlands. The geography is defined by prominent peaks such as Bobbitt Knob, Beamer Knob, and Harris Mountain, with numerous headwaters like Snake Creek and the East Fork Little Reed Island Creek carving through the valleys. Landmarks such as the Patch Incorporated Dam and Sugarloaf Overlook indicate the blend of local industry and recreation, while the nearby Skyland Lakes and Wards Gap showcase the enduring importance of these mountain passes.
