About this map

Collegedale and its surrounding valleys anchor this survey, revealing a landscape defined by prominent ridges and historical family land holdings. The town is home to the Collegedale Post Office and the Collegedale Municipal Airport near Whitener Hill, serving as a central hub for the area's residents. To the north, Bell Mill sits along the banks of Wolftever Creek, which drains much of the central valley between White Oak Mountain and Dividing Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including Sylar Cemetery, Plowman Cemetery, and the Silverdale Lookout Tower Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive gaps and hollows, such as Dead Man Gap and Scroggins Hollow, which dictated early road patterns like the Old Cleveland Pike. Industrial interests are noted at the Smith Prospect and Green Shanty, while the suburban character is evidenced by numerous local roads and newer developments like Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.
