About this map

Montebello and the surrounding high country of the Blue Ridge mountains are defined by a network of steep ridges and cold water resources. The Montebello State Fish Hatchery is a prominent landmark in the north, while the landscape further south is marked by peaks like Boston Mountain Boston Knob and the winding route of the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The area's extraction history is visible at the Irish Creek Mine, situated near the headwaters of Irish Creek.

Settlement is sparse, concentrated near small hubs like Alto and connected by historic mountain routes such as Coffeytown Rd and Pedlar River Rd. For those tracing local history or hiking the highlands, the map identifies specific resting points like the Seeley Woodworth Trail Shelter and Wiggins Spring Shelter. Family history researchers can locate the Grant Cemetery and Irish Creek Cemetery, providing specific points of reference within this densely wooded and vertical terrain.
