About this map

Pearisburg and its historic Giles County Courthouse anchor this Appalachian landscape, where the wide meanders of the New River cut deep valleys through the northern reaches of the Jefferson National Forest. This modern record of the terrain preserves a dense network of local burial sites and landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Birchlawn Burial Park and Mason French Cem near the town center, and the Eatons Chapel Cem further south.

Outside the primary settlement, the map details established communities like Pembroke, Ripplemead, and Eggleston. The area's transport corridors and geography are clearly defined by the Pulaski-Giles Tpke and the Appalachian Trail, which traverses the high ground west of the river. From the waters of Walker Creek to the slopes of Guinea Mountain, the sheet provides an intricate view of property access and rural crossroads such as Bane and Prospectdale.
