About this map

Family cemeteries and small mountain settlements define this landscape within the Jefferson National Forest. The map documents a cluster of homestead history, including the Snodgrass Family Cem, Rowan Family Cem, and Leffel Walker Family Cem, alongside established points like Looney and Abbott. The rugged topography is dominated by massive ridges such as Johns Creek Mtn and Sinking Creek Mtn, which frame the drainage basins of Craig Creek and Meadow Cr.

Outdoor recreation and legacy infrastructure are prominent, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding through the southern ridges near McAfee Gap and Webbs Mill. The presence of many small, named burial grounds, such as the Carper Woods Cem and Sarver Family Cem, provides significant detail for researchers tracing local genealogies and the distribution of early families across the valleys and hollows of this portion of the Blue Ridge.
