About this map

Oneida and the surrounding Scott County highlands are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows that drop toward the New River. The landscape is dotted with small, family-named cemeteries and rural landmarks that reflect generations of settlement, including Sulphur Spring Cemetery and Duncan Cemetery. Near the New River Post Office, the river makes a sharp turn around Negro Bend and McCoy Rocks, passing through bottomlands like Reed Bottom.

Modern infrastructure such as the Scott Municipal Airport sits on Big Ridge, while the Grassy Knob Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over the southern terrain. This survey also records numerous small-scale water features and crossings, from the Silcott Ford on the New River to several private and municipal impoundments like Ponderosa Lake and Newport Lake. The interplay of winding roads and deep hollows, such as Chambers Hollow and Ellis Hollow, illustrates the enduring physical geography of the Cumberland Plateau.
