1959 Map of Middle Fox Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Jefferson National Forest dominates the high country of Grayson and Smyth counties, where the ridgelines of Iron Mountain and Brushy Ridge create a complex topography of deep coves and narrow creek valleys. Settlement patterns in the late 1950s remained closely tied to these natural contours, with family-named cemeteries and rural churches serving as the primary landmarks for the scattered population. The map reveals a high density of small burial grounds, such as Roberts Cem, Holdaway Cem, and Long Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in this part of the Blue Ridge.
