2010 Map of Isonville

About this map

Newcombe Creek and its many winding tributaries define the settlement patterns of this corner of Elliott County. The landscape is dotted with small communities such as Isonville, Newcombe, Burke, and Eldridge, each situated along the narrow valley floors. Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including the Arthur Bays Cemetery, Watson Cemetery, and Gilliam Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and flats, such as Shanty Hollow and Fraley Flat, while the higher elevations are marked by landmarks like the Peters Hill OutTower and Buck Knob. Along the northwestern edge, the waters of Grayson Lake begin to back into the Little Sandy River valley, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage and modern water management.
