About this map

Indian Valley serves as a central point in this part of Floyd County, where the landscape is defined by the high ridges of High Knoll Mtn and Macks Mtn. The drainage patterns are complex, with the Little River and several branches of Greasy Creek carving through the highlands near the Carroll County and Pulaski County lines. This 2019 survey documents a network of named rural roads, including Simpkinstown Rd and Duncan Valley Rd NW, which connect disparate homesteads and family landmarks.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several small burial grounds such as Big Sand Cem and the Tade Quesenberry Cem. The presence of Gum-Stand and the upland waters of Ottari Lake further illustrate the distribution of resources and small-scale settlements across the Locust Thicket Mtn area. The intersection of county boundaries underscores the region's position at the crossroads of several Southwestern Virginia jurisdictions.
