2013 Map of Sparta East

About this map

Sparta sits at the southwestern corner of this Blue Ridge landscape, where the town's grid meets the winding headwaters of the Little River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of secondary roads and local crossings that connect small communities like Edwards Crossroads, Blevins Crossroads, and Vox. The map documents a rural North Carolina and Virginia borderland characterized by several historical river crossings, including Todd Ford, Cox Ford, and Billings Ford along the New River and Peach Bottom Creek. To the west, the elevation rises toward Doughton Mountain and Bald Knob, while to the northeast, Baywood marks a significant settlement near the Kings Branch. This area's geography is deeply tied to its watercourses, with Moccasin Creek and Brush Creek carving through the plateau between the scattered knobs and crossroads that have served as local landmarks for generations.
