About this map

The town of Trout Dale and the surrounding mountain ranges of Iron Mountain and Straight Mountain dominate this landscape within the Jefferson National Forest. This survey, updated at the turn of the millennium, illustrates the enduring rural character of Southwest Virginia, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high ridges of Dickey Ridge and through the Grayson Highlands State Park.

Genealogists can find numerous family burial grounds and community landmarks, including Blevins Cem, Campbell Cem, and the Little Wilson Ch. The map traces the winding paths of the Buchanan Highway and the drainages of Fox Creek and Wilson Creek. From the high elevations of Stone Mountain to the small settlements of Grant and Volney, the map provides an essential record of the local geography and the many small cemeteries that dot these slopes.
