2022 Map of Vale

About this map

Hollow Rock and Bruceton serve as the primary hubs in this part of Carroll County, where the CSX railroad corridor dictates the local geography. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a natural ridge line that separates the drainage basins of numerous creeks. Historically significant family burial grounds such as Abernathy Cem, Massey Family Cem, and Mebane Cem are scattered across the terrain, offering a clear record of early settlement patterns and genealogical history. The northern reaches are characterized by Pea Ridge and the waters of Vale Pond, while the southern portion transition toward the larger community of Huntingdon. Engineering efforts to manage the landscape are evident in the Crooked Cr Drainage Canal, which cuts through the western section to control the flow of Carver Cr and Dry Fork.
