The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders across the border of Grayson and Surry counties, marking the transition between the Virginia highlands and the North Carolina Piedmont. This 2022 survey details the deeply incised headwaters of Stewarts Creek and the Fisher River, where family cemeteries and rural churches anchor the mountain communities. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks such as the Edwards Upchurch Cem and Coleman Cem, along with established congregations at Fellowship Tabernacle Cem and Blue Ridge Chapel Cem. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Fisher Peak, while local access follows winding routes such as Lambsburg Rd and Pipers Gap Rd. This modern documentation provides a clear look at how historical property lines and small-town burial grounds persist within the protected corridor of the national parkway.
