2010 Map of Skippers

About this map

Fountains Creek and its many tributaries, including Cattail Creek and Jacks Swamp, dominate this rural landscape on the Virginia and North Carolina border. The area is defined by a network of crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks that speak to generations of local history. Near Turners Crossroads, researchers can find the Vincent Cemetery and Wyche Cemetery, while Robinson Cemetery sits further west near the Robinson Dam. Industrial activity is evident at the Hitchcock Quarry and Trego Quarry, located north of Mitchells Mill. The transportation corridors are well-established, with Rolling Acres Rd and Diamond Grove Rd connecting the smaller communities of Dahlia and Brewers Crossroads to the regional hub at Skippers. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from industrial quarrying and agriculture to the recreation areas at Cattail Creek Campground.
