About this map

Lindside and Assurance sit at the northern edge of this landscape, where the valley floor is etched by Hans Creek and Blue Lick Creek. This 2023 edition highlights a deep-rooted rural geography defined by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Broyles Cem and Karnes Cem. The terrain rises sharply toward the southeast, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridge of Peters Mountain along the state line between West Virginia and Virginia.

In the southern reaches, the industrial and agricultural history of the Monroe Co and Giles Co border is evident near Goldbond and Olean. Family researchers will find numerous smaller cemeteries like Poor Farm Cem and Lucas Cem tucked away near Stony Creek. The landscape transition from the managed timber of the Jefferson National Forest to the primitive Peters Mountain Wilderness shows the enduring character of this mountain gap region.
