2022 Map of Vansant
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Vansant and the winding course of the Louisa Fork define the northern corridor of this 2022 survey in Buchanan County. The landscape is a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Turkey Pen Ridge and Mill Branch Ridge, where small communities and family-named landmarks are concentrated along narrow valley floors. To the east, the Appalachian College of Pharmacy stands near Oakwood, while the southern reaches of the map around Rowe and Skeggs show a terrain dictated by steep elevation changes and the numerous tributaries of Dismal Creek. This contemporary study is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously labels dozens of small family burial grounds, including the Burdine Looney Cem, McGlothlin Cem, and Jackson Cem, providing a detailed look at the ancestral footprint throughout the Appalachian coalfields.
