The Big Survey Wildlife Management Area rests atop four mountain ridges in the middle of Wythe County, Virginia. The property’s 7,500-acre woodland is just south of Wytheville and divides the Reed Creek and Cripple Creek watersheds in New River Valley. Oaks, hickories, and yellow pines dominate the rugged landscape featuring unusual quartzite outcroppings. The sandy soils of the area support a variety of interesting plants, including abundant rhododendrons and azaleas.
