About this map

Fork Mountain and Turkeycock Mountain define the topography of this corner of the Virginia Piedmont, where the boundary between Franklin Co and Henry Co follows the local ridgelines. The landscape is dotted with small rural communities like Snow Creek, Figsboro, and Dyers Store, each anchored by historical institutions such as Snow Creek Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch.

A network of local waterways, including Big Chestnut Creek, Reed Creek, and Toms Creek, feeds southward toward the Martinsville Reservoir and its series of managed pools. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered family and church burial grounds, including the Eggleston Cem, Wyatt Cem, and Flatrock Ch Cem, which provide a durable record of the families settled along the creeks and mountainsides of this region during the mid-twentieth century.
