About this map

Renfro Valley serves as a prominent focal point in this portion of Rockcastle County, where the valley floor transitions into the elevated terrain of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The landscape is defined by its numerous knobs and hollows, with Linville Knob and Owens Knob standing as significant landmarks. The drainage network is complex, featuring Roundstone Creek and its many tributaries such as Valley-Spring Branch and Little Clear Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of communities like Wildie and Roundstone.

Modern infrastructure, including the highway corridor through Conway, parallels older routes and family landmarks. Genealogists may find value in the various burial sites scattered throughout the hills, including Sigmon Cemetery and Merritt Cemetery. To the south, Lake Linville provides a significant water feature near the northern edge of Mount Vernon, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and more recent water management projects.
