About this map

Wilkinsville and Saratt anchor this upland landscape where numerous branches and creeks feed the Pacolet River. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Gilkey Creek, Thicketty Creek, and Abingdon Creek, which carved the drainage patterns that local roads follow. Genealogy researchers will find Abingdon Cemetery and several family-named landmarks like Brick House Farms and Wilkins Farm Rd providing clues to the area's rural heritage.

A notable characteristic of this area in the early 21st century is the legacy of crossing points along the smaller tributaries, with descriptive local road names such as Billy Goat Bridge Rd and Wash Away Bridge Rd. These crossings, alongside Lusts Mill Creek, suggest a history of small-scale water-powered industry and the practicalities of navigating a landscape defined by its many winding streams.
