The borderlands of Jackson, Roane, and Wirt Counties come together in this dissected plateau region defined by a intricate network of hollows and runs. Small, established communities like Liverpool and LeRoy are situated along the lower elevations, while family-named landmarks and cemeteries are scattered across the high ground. Notable burial sites such as Sheppard Chapel Cem and Gridley Cem suggest deep ancestral roots in the area. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with Lockhart Fork and the Left Fork Sandy Creek serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding hills. This 2014 survey shows the persistence of rural settlements like Wiseburg and Lockhart, connected by historic routes like Old US-21 and Turkey Fork Rd, reflecting a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where ridges and valleys dictate the local geography.
