About this map

Fisher Peak and the high ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains dominate this 2019 survey of the Virginia and North Carolina borderlands. The terrain is marked by steep elevation changes where the Blue Ridge Pkwy winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, passing near established family and community landmarks like Coleman Cem and the Blue Ridge Chapel Cem. The settlement pattern reflects the area's geography, with small communities such as Lambsburg and Lowgap positioned along the lower elevations and creek valleys.

Water systems define the drainage of the region, with the Little Fisher River and S Fork Stewarts Cr carving paths through the mountain landscape. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals numerous scattered burial grounds, including the Ivy Green Cem, Zion Hill Cem, and Edwards Upchurch Cem. These sites, along with the network of rural roads like Lambsburg Rd and Pipers Gap Rd, provide a modern record of long-standing residential patterns in Surry and Carroll counties.
