2013 Map of Stickleyville

About this map

Stickleyville and Woodway serve as the primary hubs in this Lee County landscape, situated where the ridge-and-valley terrain of the Appalachians dictates the flow of commerce and community. The map reveals a high density of named geographic features that speak to generations of local settlement, from the depths of Rasnic Hollow to the heights of Elk Knob and Buzzard Roost. The hydrology of the region is particularly distinct, featuring the Powell River and a complex network of creeks including Wallen Cr and Station Cr. Notable geological landmarks such as The Sinks and the Blue Spring near Stickleyville indicate the karst topography prevalent in this part of Virginia. This survey documents the modern road network, including State Route 1023 and Canton Rd, which connect smaller communities like Canton and Fairview through the narrow corridors of England Valley and Sulphur Spring Valley.
