About this map

Jefferson National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Blue Ridge mountains rise sharply above the valley floor. This 2019 survey captures the rugged corridor of the Blue Ridge Pkwy, including the Coyner Mountain Overlook, as it winds through a terrain defined by prominent peaks like Stewart Knob and Chestnut Mtn. In the lowlands, the Roanoke River drainage shapes the settlement patterns, particularly near Vinton and the Niagara community.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites scattered across the ridges and hollows, including the Laymantown Cem, Smith Cem, and Foutz Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the developed outskirts of Roanoke into the rural communities of Webster and Stewartsville, where water features such as Falling Cr Reservoir and the Roanoke River provide essential landmarks for tracing land ownership and local history in the eastern Blue Ridge region.
