About this map

The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area dominates the central landscape of this 2016 survey, where the New River carves through deep gorges and around landforms like Negro Bend. The rail corridor of the Southern Ry anchors the eastern half of the map, linking the settlements of Oneida, Helenwood, and Verdun. This transit spine historically shaped the development of the region, which is dotted with numerous family cemeteries including Marcum Cem and Pemberton Cem.

Remote hollows such as Wolf Fork Hollow and Sugarcamp Hollow contrast with the municipal infrastructure of the Scott Ridge Municipal Airport near Three Forks. The topographical layout reveals the complex drainage patterns of Clear Fork and Lick Br as they converge toward the protected river corridor. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved here, from New Haven Cem in the north to Cordell Cem near the New River settlement.
