The town of Floyd serves as a central hub for this corner of Virginia, where high-elevation plateaus meet the headwaters of the Little River. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate road network of Floyd County, where family names are etched into the landscape through locations like Jacksonville, Poff, and the historical site at Shelors Mill. The topography is dominated by distinct summits including Stockers Knob and the long spine of Wills Ridge, which parallel the course of Dodd Cr and other small tributaries. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward the Blue Ridge, where the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway skirts the edge of the quadrangle near The Haycocks. Local history and genealogy are anchored by rural burial grounds such as Baker Cem and Stockers Cem, which sit amidst a landscape of winding country lanes like Phlegar Hill Rd NE and Christiansburg Pike NE.
