2022 Map of Speedwell

About this map

Cripple Creek winds through the valley floor of Wythe County, anchoring a landscape defined by small settlements and high mountain ridges. This 2022 survey captures the transition from the agricultural bottomlands near Speedwell and Collier to the protected heights of the Jefferson National Forest. The geography here is marked by significant elevation changes, with High Knob and Perkins Knob rising above deep drainages like Andrews Hollow and Jackson Hollow. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous cemeteries and churches that dot the roadsides, including the Zion Lutheran Church Cem and Speedwell Methodist Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high country of the Wythe and Grayson county line, where the Virginia Highlands Trl traverses the remote terrain of Horse Heaven.
