2013 Map of Three Churches

About this map

Indian Cr and its many winding tributaries define the topography of this Wayne County landscape, where narrow valleys and ridges dictated the placement of small rural communities. The settlement of Three Churches sits centrally near Cave Spring, while Cromwell Crossroads marks a key junction further south along the ridge. The map reveals a high density of named hollows, such as Slaughter Pen Hollow and Newburn Hollow, which speak to the area's agricultural and homesteading history. Transportation follows the natural drainage patterns, with roads like Roanoke Creek Rd and Robinson Hollow Rd tracing the low ground between hills. Religious and educational history is anchored by Baptist Hill and the appropriately named Schoolhouse Hollow, providing valuable reference points for genealogists researching family lineages tied to these specific Wayne County landmarks.
