The 1780s land of William Ricketts was west of the Dry Fork of White Oak Creek which runs through a gap between the mountains. The southern boundry on this map is the crest of the mountain range whicy runs northeast and soughwest through Pittsylvania County. In 1874, the Lynchburg and Danville Railroad was built through this gap along the creek. James Soyars' second wife Jane Oakes was a daughter of Isaac Oakes and Rachael Crane. The Cranes were longtime neighbors in this Dry Fork community from the 1700s until today. The White Oak Mountian Range is an outcropping of the Triassic Age of what they say was 210 million years ago. Quartz crystals and petrified wood are found along the southern slopes of the relatively small mountains.
