2019 Map of Meadows of Dan

About this map

The Dan River carves a deep path through this section of the Blue Ridge, anchored by the iconic Mabry Mill in the northeastern corner. This 2019 survey documents the complex topography where the plateau drops toward Kibler Valley, revealing the dramatic landforms of the Pinnacles of Dan and Great Falls of Dan. The landscape is a mix of high-altitude agricultural clearings and steep wooded slopes, with the Blue Ridge Parkway tracing the high ground near Pike City. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the Sollie Alderman Cem, Terry Barnard Cem, and Emmitt D Stanley Cem. These small family plots, scattered from the banks of Big Reed Island Cr to the heights of Greene Knob, provide a precise spatial record of the multi-generational settlement patterns in this part of Patrick and Carroll Counties.
