2016 Map of Villamont

About this map

Simmons Cem and Booze Cem are positioned along the lower elevations of this terrain where the Jefferson National Forest meets localized farming and transit corridors. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Blue Ridge, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds past peaks like Grindstone Knob and Fullhart Knob. The historic influence of industry and transportation is evident in the path of the Norfolk Southern railroad and the presence of Houston Mines Rd, reflecting the area's extraction history. Settlements such as Nace, Troutville, and Villamont follow the valleys, while water features like Mill Creek and Back Cr drain the slopes. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds, including the Thompson Cemeteries and Saint Clair Cem, which remain as markers of long-established families near the Bedford Co and Botetourt Co line.
