About this map

The New River carves a deep path through this Cumberland Plateau landscape, defining the topography near Mountain View and Helenwood. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows and ridges, including Phillips Hollow, Big Ridge, and the prominent Grassy Knob, which is capped by the Grassy Knob Lookout Tower. This 2013 survey shows the distribution of smaller communities and named landmarks like Graveyard Hill and McCoy Rocks that reflect generations of local settlement.

Transportation and water management are central to the area's development, from the Scott Municipal Airport north of Three Forks to the cluster of lakes such as Newport Lake and Ponderosa Lake. Historical crossings are evidenced by Silcott Ford, while the namesake New River settlement and Black Creek anchor the southern portion of the map. The intricate network of creeks, including Cherry Fork Cr and Phillips Cr, illustrates the complex drainage system of the Scott County highlands.
