The North Fork Roanoke River and South Fork Roanoke River converge in this corner of Montgomery County, shaping a landscape of deep hollows and prominent ridges. The terrain is defined by Paris Mtn and Mid Piece Mtn, with settlements such as Ironto, Shawsville, and the outskirts of Christiansburg established along the valley floors. The presence of Big Tunnel near Montgomery suggests the historical and engineering importance of rail transport through these gaps.
