About this map

The Buchanan County Courthouse sits at the heart of Grundy, where the narrow valley of the Levisa Fork meets the junction of Slate Cr. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape of deep hollows and ridgelines, where development is tightly confined to the winding valley floors. The town serves as a regional hub, evidenced by the presence of the Appalachian School of Law and administrative centers.

Outside the main settlement, smaller communities like Royal City, Poetown, and Roseann follow the watercourses, connected by routes such as State Rte 650. Family history is deeply rooted in the terrain, with numerous namesake cemeteries including Shortridge Cem and Belcher Cem tucked into side drainages like Wolfpen Br. The technical challenges of the terrain are visible in infrastructure like the Raitt Tunnel, highlighting the enduring importance of transportation corridors in this Appalachian geography.
