About this map

Johnetta and Goochland anchor this rural landscape in Rockcastle County, where steep terrain and winding creek valleys dictate the local geography. The map shows a region shaped by a complex drainage system, primarily fed by the serpentining Horse Lick Creek and its many tributaries like Rock Lick Branch and Little Clover Creek. This network supported local industry and homesteads, evidenced by landmarks such as Rose's Mill and several community-specific burial grounds including Johnetta Cemetery and Chasteen Cemetery.

High points and ridges define the horizon, notably Cruse Ridge and Rice Hill, with the New Hope Lookout Tower providing a strategic vantage point over the timbered hills. The road network often follows these natural contours, with named routes like Barnett Valley Rd and Poplar Gap Rd connecting smaller settlements like Cooksburg and Threelinks. This survey provides a precise account of the area's rural character, from the secluded Anglin Falls to the small crossroads of Clover Bottom.
