2019 Map of Staffordsville

About this map

Staffordsville and the surrounding highlands of Giles and Pulaski Counties are defined by the prominent ridgelines of Walker Mtn and Cloyds Mtn. This modern survey reveals a landscape where traditional Appalachian settlements like Trigg, Poplar Hill, and Highland persist alongside contemporary infrastructure like the New River Valley Airport. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways, including Walker Creek and its many tributaries such as Wabash Creek and Back Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like the Pulaski-Giles Tpke. Large portions of the central area are preserved within the Jefferson National Forest, maintaining the wooded character of Shuffle Ridge. For those tracing local families, several small burial grounds are documented, including the Staffordsville Cem and Highland Emmanuel Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research in this part of southwest Virginia.
