2016 Map of Fletcher

About this map

Upper Pocosin and the community of Fletcher occupy a landscape defined by the high crests and deep hollows of the eastern Blue Ridge. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of these settlements to the protected lands of Shenandoah National Park, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds past peaks like Hazeltop and Bearfence Mtn. Genealogy researchers will find the Fletcher Cem and South River Cem located near the headwaters of Pocosin Cr and Collects Run. The drainage patterns are intricate here, with the Conway River and Staunton River carving paths through Pocosin Hollow and McDaniel Hollow. Landmarks such as Bear Church Rock and Buzzard Rocks stand as prominent markers above the rural road network including Skyline Dr and Bluff Mountain Rd.
