About this map

Max Meadows and Fort Chiswell anchor this part of Wythe County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Reed Cr and the convergence of major travel corridors. The map records a mix of long-standing community centers and industrial legacies, such as Walton Furnace and the settlement of Grahams Forge. These names hint at the area's history of iron production and early manufacturing along the regional waterways.

Local landmarks like the Wytheville National Fish Hatchery Number 2 near Glade Cr sit alongside smaller, rural clusters like Siloam, Laswell, and Poletown. The topography is shaped by prominent heights, including Ramsay Mountain and Sanders Ridge, which dictate the paths of secondary roads like Peppers Ferry Rd and Conners Valley Rd. This 2013 snapshot preserves the distribution of family-named stores and bridges, such as the Keesline Bridge, before further modern development altered these traditional community markers.
