2011 Map of Trout Dale

About this map

Trout Dale and the surrounding high-country settlements of Grant and Volney define the rugged character of this corner of Grayson County. The landscape is a network of ridges and peaks, from Stone Mountain to Hickory Ridge, where the upper reaches of Fox Creek and Little Wilson Creek carve through the terrain. A dense concentration of family-named cemeteries, such as Sullivan Cemetery, Ross Cemetery, and Young Cemetery, provides a detailed record of the families who settled these valleys. The map also highlights the outdoor infrastructure of the region, including the Raccoon Branch Shelter and campgrounds at Hurricane and Raccoon Branch. These features, along with names like Dickey Gap and Bearpen Ridge, illustrate a community deeply connected to the geography of the Blue Ridge Highlands.
