About this map

The New River carves a deep path through Giles County, anchoring a landscape where river bends and mountain ridges define the human settlement pattern. In the town of Pearisburg, the Giles County Courthouse stands as a central landmark, surrounded by residential streets and the sprawling Birchlawn Burial Park. The area’s geography is further shaped by the heights of Butt Mtn and Buckeye Mtn, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding across the northern ridges near Hemlock Ridge.

Smaller rural communities like Pembroke, Ripplemead, and Bane are scattered along the watercourses of Walker Creek and Stony Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with small family burial grounds and community landmarks, such as the Stony Creek United Methodist Church and the Hiram T Jones Family Cem. This 2022 survey captures the persistent rural character of the region, from the industrial sites at Kimballton and Klotz to the protected spans of the Jefferson National Forest.
