2013 Map of Moll Creek

About this map

Copper Creek and Big Moccasin Creek define the complex drainage patterns of this Southwest Virginia landscape, where small hamlets like Mew and Banners Corner sit along the winding valley roads. The terrain is marked by a sequence of distinctive ridges and hollows, such as Bakers Ridge and Osborne Hollow, which have historically shaped the local settlement and road network. Evidence of early rural communities is found at Point Truth and Tumbez, positioned along the watercourses that once powered local life. The map reveals how the steep topography of Duff Knob and Porter Hollow dictates the placement of secondary routes like Copper Ridge Road, illustrating the enduring relationship between the geology of Russell County and its inhabitant's navigation of the land.
