2019 Map of Huntsville

About this map

Huntsville and the surrounding Scott County landscape are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows, where family history is deeply etched into the topography. The settlement pattern follows the winding paths of Buffalo Creek and the New River, with clusters of heritage sites like Buttram Cem and Chambers Cem marking the legacy of local residents. The map reveals a transition from the busier corridors near Oneida and Stanley Junction to the more secluded terrain of Ditney Mtn and Silcox Mtn. The inclusion of Litton Covered Bridge Rd highlights a specific cultural landmark in the valley near Litton Hill, while numerous cemeteries such as Pumpkin Hollow Cem and Griffin Cem offer precise locations for genealogical research. This map details how the rugged Appalachian geography influenced the placement of small communities like Newtown and Winona along the creek beds and gap crossings.
