About this map

Poplar Camp Mtn and Periwinkle Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this Carroll County region, where the terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries including Osbourne Cem, Alexander Cem, Lilburn Richardson Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which anchor the small settlements of Richardson, Early, and Five Forks.

The hydrography of the area centers on Little Reed Island Creek and its many tributaries like Shorts Creek and Trout Br. Infrastructure from this era is represented by Twin County Airport and the Colonel Ira B Coltrane Memorial Bridge, while the boundary between Wythe and Carroll counties runs across the northeast corner near Sylvatus. The map reveals a transition from the wooded ridges of Round Knob to the more developed southern corridor near Hillsville.
