2016 Map of Riner

About this map

Christiansburg anchors the northern edge of this terrain where Interstate 81 and Mud Pike cut through the highlands of Montgomery County. Moving south, the landscape transitions into a network of rural communities such as Riner and Union Valley, defined by the winding paths of Meadow Creek and Mill Creek. The southern reaches of the map are particularly striking, where the Little River carves through the topography near Broad Shoals and the Montgomery and Floyd County border. Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial and landmark sites, including Sunset Cemetery near the city and the Altizer Bridge crossing the river. The high points of Pilot Mountain and Calfee Knob provide a clear sense of the verticality that shaped early road placements like Old Rough Road and Seven Mile Tree Road.
