2016 Map of Warrensville

About this map

North Fork New River carves a winding path through this portion of Ashe County, anchoring a series of small riverside communities including Warrensville, Clifton, and Dresden. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Three Top Mtn and Bluff Mtn, where numerous small tributaries like Sugar Tree Br and Stagg Cr descend toward the valley floor. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording several family-named burial sites such as J O Blevens Cem near Lansing and Milam Cem in the vicinity of Trout. The network of backroads, including Pounding Mill RD and Weaver RD, reflects a traditional mountain settlement pattern where homes and small farms are tucked into protected hollows like Elliott Hollow RD. Toward the southeast, the terrain transitions toward West Jefferson and Beaver Creek, showing the rural infrastructure that has supported these Appalachian communities for generations.
