About this map

Sky Valley sits atop the high terrain in this 2011 survey, where the Sky Valley Dam and Spring Lake are centerpiece features of the mountain community. The landscape is defined by its deep relief and numerous watercourses, including the Warwoman Creek and Tuckaluge Creek which drain the southern valleys near the settlement of Antioch.

Genealogical and local history markers are prevalent throughout the area, from family-named resting places like Kelly Cemetery and Kell Cemetery to former community hubs like Locust School Gap. Industrial and recreational history intersect at the Black Diamond Tunnel and the Warwoman Dell Picnic Grounds. The map illustrates a network of forest service roads and local tracks such as Hale Ridge Rd and Sandy Ford Rd, providing a clear record of access to the remote ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
