About this map

The James River snakes through the northeastern corner of this Botetourt County landscape, just as it reaches the settlement of Salisbury. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Cedar Ridge and Timber Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the local road network. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly useful for its documentation of family burial sites, such as Rudisill Cem and Houseman Cem, scattered across the undulating countryside.

The central portion of the map is dominated by the Catawba Creek valley, where the settlement of Kyles Mills stands near the confluence of several small tributaries like Slate Br and Dry Br. The southern reaches transition toward the Pine Hills area, while the western edge is marked by the presence of Fincastle Airport. Much of the high ground in the northeast is preserved within the Jefferson National Forest, maintaining the rural character of this portion of the Virginia mountains.
