About this map

The Powell River carves a winding path through this corner of Lee County, following the base of Wallens Ridge and creating deep meanders like Wilder Bend. This 2022 survey captures a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province, where Cumberland Mountain and Stone Mountain form the northern horizon. The gap at Hubbard Springs Gap and the notch of Cranks Gap provide historic passage through these formidable barriers, bridging the border between Virginia and Kentucky.

Cultural history is visible in the scattered settlements and family cemeteries that dot the valleys, such as Ocoonita and Fleenortown. The presence of the Jonesville Camp Ground and the Lee County Airport indicates the modern evolution of the land near Jonesville, while the Daniel Boone Trl follows the historic corridor of the Wilderness Rd, marking the path of early westward migration. Nearby, the geologic feature Natural Bridge stands as a notable landmark along Watt Cr.
