2011 Map of Spring Valley

About this map

Spring Valley sits at the heart of this landscape, where the headwaters of Whitener Branch and Brush Creek meet the rising terrain of Been Mountain and Vaughan Mountain. To the north, the waters of War Eagle Creek wind toward the expansive Beaver Lake, defining a region shaped by its rugged topography and river fords like Cook Ford and Sharp Ford. The map reveals a network of rural settlements, including Mayfield, Whitener, and Pilgrims Rest, connected by a web of local routes such as Plank Rd and Evans Logging Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named burial grounds documented here, from the Johnson Cemetery near War Eagle Cove to the Vaughan Cemetery and Morriss Cemetery. The presence of the Hindsville Lake Dam on the eastern edge further illustrates the intersection of natural watercourses and 21st-century infrastructure.
