2019 Map of Long Spur

About this map

Walker Mtn and Little Walker Mtn dominate this section of the Jefferson National Forest, where the ridges and valleys of Southwest Virginia dictate the local settlement patterns. In the narrow corridor along Little Creek Hwy, the community of Long Spur serves as a central point between rugged slopes. This modern survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, noting the presence of the Goshen Cem and Hidden Valley Cem which offer vital touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots in Pulaski and Bland Counties. The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Skydusky Hollow and Schoolhouse Hollow, where the terrain transitions toward Crockett Cove and Cove Mtn in the south. The intricate network of forestry roads and hollows provides a clear view of how geography has preserved the isolation of these mountain valleys.
