About this map

The Galax city center and its surrounding neighborhoods, including West Galax, anchor this modern topography along the Blue Ridge Plateau. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the New River, which flows past the industrial river town of Fries and the smaller settlements of Hilltown and Stevens Creek. To the south, the historic community of Oldtown sits near the riverbanks, while the eastern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by high points like Pope Knob and Enoch Knob.

Transport and industry are centered on the river and several notable tributary systems, such as Chestnut Cr and Mill Cr. The southern terrain transitions into more rural family-named locations such as Reavistown and Cox Mill. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary record of established settlements like Hickory Flat, Hebron, and Wolf Glade, mapping out the intricate network of local roads that connect these upland communities.
