The New River meanders across the state line between Virginia and North Carolina, serving as a geographic anchor for the rural communities of Mouth of Wilson, Oak Hill, and Piney Creek. This mountainous borderland is defined by its water systems, where the North Fork New River and South Fork New River converge amidst a landscape of prominent peaks like Fox Knob and Rocky Knob. The settlement pattern follows the river valleys and winding mountain roads, such as Piney Post Office Rd and State Rte 826.
