About this map

The French Broad River carves a deep valley through this stretch of the Blue Ridge, where the town of Marshall serves as the seat of Madison County. This 2013 survey shows the unique riverfront layout of the community, highlighted by Blennerhassett Island sitting mid-stream. The landscape is defined by its complex topography, including notable peaks like Price Mountain and Roberts Mountain, and numerous gaps that have historically facilitated travel through the terrain, such as Mashburn Gap and Old Station Gap.

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Walnut, Redmon, and Rollins are connected by a network of winding roads and state routes. Along the river, Nocona Siding points to the area's rail history, while the upper elevations are marked by distinct ridges including Highrock Ridge and Sevenmile Ridge. The map details the drainage patterns of countless named waterways, such as Walnut Cr and Big Br, which feed the river valley's ecosystem and agricultural history.
