About this map

The New River carves a dramatic oxbow through the heart of this Montgomery and Pulaski County landscape, anchoring the massive Radford Army Ammunition Plant and the growing city of Radford. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the ridges of Gap Mtn, Brush Mtn, and Walker Mtn, much of which is protected within the Jefferson National Forest. This section of the Appalachian Highlands is characterized by deep hollows like Whittaker Hollow and Fork Lick Hollow that feed into the river system.

Industrial and institutional footprints are significant, from the sprawling ammunition plant at Cowan to Radford University and the Radford City Courthouse. Smaller settlements like Wake Forest, McCoy, and Belview are connected by a network of rural routes including Peppers Ferry Rd and Whitethorne Rd. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Snider Cem, Morgan Cem, and the Daniel Stephens Cem located near the northern county line.
