2016 Map of Galax

About this map

The New River carves a winding path through the Blue Ridge foothills, defining the western reach of this survey where the community of Fries and the J R Carico Memorial Bridge are situated. The landscape transitions into the concentrated settlement of Galax, which straddles the Grayson and Carroll county line. The map is exceptionally dense with family-named burial grounds and small communities, including Oldtown, Reavistown, and Woodlawn, reflecting a deep history of rural settlement and local industry at sites like Cox Mill.
