About this map

The New River snakes through the borderlands of North Carolina and Virginia, defining the complex topography of this 2013 survey. Near the junction of the N Fork New River and the S Fork New River, the landscape is dotted with small rural communities and river crossings like Kings Creek Ford and Weavers Ford. This area, encompassing Mouth of Wilson and Chestnut Hill, maintains a traditional settlement pattern where homes and farmsteads are connected by a network of winding roads like Troutdale Hwy and Jefferson Hwy.

Social and spiritual life is anchored by landmarks such as the Mount Zion Church and Piney Creek church. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Grassy Knob, Fox Knob, and Rocky Knob, which overlook the river valleys. The presence of Rivercamp USA reflects the region's modern focus on river-based recreation, while older place names like Jacks Bottom and Topia preserve the local history of these mountain reaches.
