About this map

Woodlawn serves as a central hub in this Virginia landscape, situated where several local routes converge. The area is defined by a series of prominent peaks and crossroads, including Pipers Gap and Higgins Crossroads, which historically anchored the rural community. These high points, such as Walker Knob, Chisel Knob, and Pike Knob, create a complex topography drained by various branches and creeks like Cranberry Cr and Crooked Cr.

Evidence of early industry and community life is found at Gardner Mills and Browns Store, while the Thomas L Fells Memorial Bridge provides a specific modern landmark within this traditional settlement pattern. For researchers, the map provides a clear view of how family names are etched into the terrain through landmarks like Hanks Knob and Edwards Knob. The numerous small waterways, such as Daniel Br and Pine Br, further illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped local development and road placement.
