2013 Map of Sylvatus

About this map

Sylvatus and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by the winding course of Little Reed Island Cr and its many tributaries. This area of Carroll County shows a transition from the elevated peaks of Poplar Camp Mountain and Round Knob down toward the New River, which crosses the northwestern corner at Jackson Ferry. The transportation network is a central feature, anchored by the interstate corridor and reinforced by local hubs like Five Forks and the Twin County Airport. Local history is reflected in names such as Rackettown and Richardson, while the Colonel Ira B Coltrane Memorial Bridge spans the southern waterways. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of creeks including Shorts Cr, Laurel Br, and Moccasin Br, which historically shaped the placement of early settlements and road alignments across the terrain.
