About this map

Saltville anchors the northern portion of this survey, where the N Fork Holston River winds through a landscape defined by deep hollows and prominent ridges. To the south, the terrain opens into a corridor of established communities and transportation routes including Meadowview, Emory, and Glade Spring. This area reflects a long-standing settlement pattern along the Lee Hwy and Hillman Hwy, with older rural centers like Old Glade Spring positioned near the modern highway networks.

The topography is marked by named heights such as Hall Knob, Kelly Ridge, and Bald Knob, while numerous watercourses like Tumbling Cr and Hall Cr drain the valleys. Industrial and rural legacy is evident in place names such as Plasterco and Clinchburg, alongside localized family-named features like Keywood Hollow and Patrick Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure connecting these Southwest Virginia communities, from the mountain passes at McCall Gap to the winding course of Stonemill Cr.
