2010 Map of Old Noxville

About this map

Old Noxville and the surrounding Hill Country ranching landscape are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and essential water-pumping infrastructure. The James River and Little Devils River carve paths through a terrain marked by named draws and hollows, such as Kits Hollow and Bell Hollow, where The Big Springs provides a critical natural water source. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of livestock management in the region, identified by an extensive series of named windmills scattered across the pastures, including the Eclipse Windmill, Turkey Windmill, and Back Pasture Windmill. The presence of the Noxville Cemetery near the old settlement site offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing the early families who settled along Grays Branch and the river forks.
