2011 Map of Nebo

About this map

The settlement of Nebo serves as a central point in this part of Smyth County, situated along the meandering path of the North Fork Holston River. This landscape is defined by its deep genealogical record, evidenced by a high density of family burial grounds including Cooper Cemetery, Tilson Cemetery, and Cregger Cemetery. These sites are often tucked into the valleys between prominent ridges such as Brushy Mountain and Little Mountain, illustrating a pattern of upland Appalachian settlement where family life and industry were closely tied to the available creek flats.
