Sparta and the surrounding high country of the Blue Ridge define this landscape, where the plateau drops sharply at the Alleghany and Wilkes county line. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the eastern escarpment, passing significant geological and recreational landmarks like Devils Garden, Bullhead Mtn, and Deep Gap. These features represent a transition from the agricultural uplands near Glade Valley to the steep, creek-fed drainages that feed the E Prong Roaring River system.
