About this map

Walker Mtn and the Great Knobs define the terrain of this Washington County landscape, where the ridges of the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province guide the development of transportation and settlement. The Interstate 81 corridor serves as the primary modern artery, connecting the historic hub of Abingdon to the residential expansions of Hilander Park and Evergreen Hills. Near the eastern edge, the Virginia Highlands Community College and the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center represent the region's 21st-century educational infrastructure.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through dozens of small burial grounds such as Denton Cem, Pippin Cem, and Hortenstine Cem. These cemeteries, often associated with landmarks like Heavely Rest Church Cem, are scattered among rural communities like Wyndale and Withers. The map also documents significant aviation and transit points, including the Virginia Highlands Airport and the Colonel Robert Preston Memorial Bridge, illustrating how this traditional valley landscape has integrated modern infrastructure while maintaining its network of named hollows and ridges.
