About this map

Wytheville stands as the central hub of this pre-war survey, where the Lee Highway intersects with the Norfolk and Western railroad line. The landscape is defined by the heavy ridges of Lick Mountain and Henley Mountain, creating a natural barrier between the urban center and the rural agricultural valleys to the south. Along the banks of Cripple Creek, the small settlement of Speedwell and the Little Wythe Furnace represent the region's early industrial and mineral heritage.
