About this map

Salisbury Furnace stands as a significant industrial landmark along the James River in this part of Botetourt County. The landscape is defined by the prominent heights of Cedar Ridge and Timber Ridge, which guide the path of Catawba Creek through the central valley. Small settlements such as Owens, Poplar Hill, and Kyles Mills are connected by a network of rural roads that trace the undulating terrain and various watercourses like Lapsley Run and Beaverdam Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named burial sites documented across the quadrangle, including Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Houseman Cemetery, and the Linkenhoker Cemetery. The spatial arrangement of these cemeteries and the namesake settlements highlights the long-standing agricultural and industrial heritage of the James River valley, where residential clusters like Pine Hills continue to sit amidst established geographic features like Little Timber Ridge.
