2011 Map of Middle Fox Creek

About this map

Barton Crossroad serves as a central point in this corner of Grayson County, where a dense network of family cemeteries speaks to generations of settlement. Names like the Old Parks Cemetery, Burton Chapel Cemetery, and Holdaway Cemetery are scattered across the high ridges and hollows, providing essential data for genealogical research. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Middle Fox Creek and various branches of Elk Creek, which carve deep valleys between high points such as Kindrick Mountain and Fries Knob. Local roads like Rabbit Fork Rd and Honey Grove Rd follow the natural contours of the terrain, connecting isolated homesteads to the wider region. High gaps, including Houndshell Gap and Blue Spring Gap, indicate historic transit routes through the Blue Ridge foothills.
