The South Fork New River winds through the heart of this Ashe County landscape, defining the character of the valleys near Glendale Springs and Idlewild. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Blue Ridge Parkway as it traces the southern and eastern ridges, passing landmarks like Benge Gap and the prominent overlook at The Lump. The settlement pattern follows the high-country topography, with local hubs like West Jefferson and Obids connected by a network of rural roads that frequently cross tributaries such as Beaver Cr and Obids Cr.
