About this map

Porter Mountain and Wigginton Knob anchor the western elevations of this Bedford County landscape, where rural life is defined by small settlements and an intricate drainage system. The community of Irving sits in the north along a corridor that follows the valley of Goose Cr, while Shady Grove and Union occupy the central reaches. These areas are characterized by a network of winding roads like Bore Auger Rd and Mountain View Church Rd, which trace the contours between prominent peaks such as Peach Orchard Mountain and Thaxton Mountain.

To the south, Chamblissburg and Flint Hill mark the transition toward the headwaters of several streams, including E Fork Beaverdam Cr and Enochs Cr. The presence of Rocky Ford on the eastern edge suggests traditional crossing points that have likely served local travel for generations. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary view of these traditional Blue Ridge foothills, showing how modern residential development alongside older settlement patterns continues to follow the natural geography of Lick Mountain and Bramletts Mountain.
