About this map

Sandyville serves as a central hub in this corner of Jackson County, where the winding course of Little Sandy Creek and the Left Fork define the valley floors. The landscape is marked by a dense network of family cemeteries, such as Nesselroad Cem and Springston Cem, which reflect the generations of settlement along the numerous runs and hollows. Small communities like Odaville and Silverton are situated along the primary routes, with Silverton notably serving as a junction for Interchange 146.

Resource extraction is a visible part of the local economy, evidenced by the numerous Gas Well sites and a Quarry near Crow Summit. Institutional life is anchored by landmarks like Gilmore High Sch and several country churches, including White Chapel and Pleasant Home Ch. A notable artifact of regional infrastructure is the Covered Bridge located over the Sargis Fork, standing as a physical link to earlier transportation methods in the Appalachian foothills.
