2023 Map of Roanoke

About this map

Stonewall Jackson Lake dominates this Lewis County landscape, its winding fingers filling the valleys of the West Fork River and its many tributaries. The area is defined by its ridge-and-hollow topography, where small settlements like Vandalia, Roanoke, and Jacksonville are tucked between elevations such as Wolf Fork Mountain and Bald Knob. This recent survey shows how modern recreation and water management at Roanoke Bay State Park coexist with the region's older rural foundations. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the hills, including Fairview Cem near the lake's edge, Glady Fork Cem to the north, and Rexroad Cem in the southern reaches. The map traces a complex network of older routes and trails, such as Arnold Road Trl and Oil Creek Rd, which provide a detailed look at the local geography surrounding Alkires Mills and Horner.
