About this map

South Boston and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by the intricate branching of the Blue River system in this 2013 survey. The landscape is dotted with small, historically named settlements such as New Salem, Bunker Hill, Bartle, and Daisy Hill, which are connected by a network of local roads following the natural contours of the land. High points like Bowers Knob and Williams Knob provide topographic variety above the many creek valleys.

The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of the Middle Fork Blue River and South Fork Blue River. Significant local landmarks include many family-named features and watercourses like Whiskey Run, North Honey Run, and Jeff Br. The naming of roads after local institutions, such as N Franklin School Rd and S Conway Church Rd, offers a glimpse into the vanished or consolidated social centers of this Washington County community.
