About this map

Jacob McGavock Cem and the James McGavock Cem stand as significant genealogical markers in this Wythe County landscape, highlighting the long-standing family ties to the region. The terrain is defined by the prominent Lick Mountain and the winding course of Reed Creek, which draws together numerous smaller tributaries like McGavock Run and Beaverdam Cr. The northern reaches of the map include portions of the Jefferson National Forest, where the topography becomes increasingly complex.

A dense network of rural routes, such as Keesling School Rd and Major Grahams Rd, provides access to the smaller valleys and ridges. These roads often parallel watercourses like Glade Cr and Mill Cr, reflecting traditional settlement patterns where transportation followed the natural drainage of the land. The presence of the Sanders Cem further underscores the dispersed but established rural community centered around these Appalachian foothills.
