The S Fork New River winds through this section of the Blue Ridge, anchoring a landscape of scattered rural communities and high mountain terrain. The settlement of Todd sits near the river's bend, while other local centers such as Fleetwood, Baldwin, and Brownwood are linked by a network of named mountain roads and creek valleys. Topographically, the area is defined by significant elevations including Bald Mountain, Rich Mountain, and Mulatto Mountain, which create a complex system of ridges and gaps like Laurel Knob Gap. Local history is reflected in several family-named landmarks and smaller hamlets such as Toliver, Woodford, and Moretz. The map also details numerous watercourses that feed the larger river system, including Elk Cr, Cranberry Cr, and Grassy Cr, which features the named Grassy Island.
