2022 Map of Woolwine

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders along the dividing line between Floyd and Patrick Counties, following the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains through this rural Virginia landscape. At high elevations, notable crossings like Tuggles Gap and Woods Gap serve as historical transition points between the mountain plateaus and the river valleys below. The map shows a landscape deeply defined by its drainage basins, where the headwaters of the Smith River and Dan River begin their descent. Small rural congregations and family histories are anchored at sites like the Mountain View United Methodist Church Cem and Conners View Primitive Baptist Church Cem. Near the northern boundary, Rakes Millpond marks an area of historical water utilization, while numerous creeks like Rock Castle Cr and Widgeon Creek carve out the hollows that define the local road network.
