2022 Map of Ironto

About this map

The North Fork Roanoke River carves a deep path through the mountains of Montgomery County, defining the valley landscape between Paris Mtn and the Pedlar Hills. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary footprint of Christiansburg as it extends toward the rural communities of Montgomery and Den Hill. The map provides significant genealogical value through the documentation of family landmarks, including the Preston Family Cem and the Den Hill Cem, alongside historical industrial markers like Iron Mine Hollow. Small settlements such as Fagg, Ironto, and Shawsville line the narrow valley corridors, illustrating how the topography of hollows like Slaughterpen Hollow and Ginger Hollow has shaped local habitation and transport. The confluence of the South Fork Roanoke River near Alleghany Springs marks a key hydrological point in this complex drainage system.
