About this map

The Pocatalico River carves a winding path through this portion of Roane County, anchoring the community of Walton in the southeast. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its narrow ridges and deep hollows, where small settlements like Gandeeville, Countsville, and Harmony are connected by a network of winding county roads. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Kee Ridge, Huckleberry Knob, and Gooseneck Bend, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of the West Virginia hills.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several established burial grounds, including Gandeeville Cem, Looney Cem, and the Canterbury Cem near the southern border. The transition from the northern reaches of Flint Town down to the bottomlands near Ryan illustrates the region's historical reliance on the branching creek systems of Elk Fork, Cox Fork, and Lick Fork for both settlement placement and early transport.
