Built around a railway station, Chilhowie grew into a small town in Smyth County, southwest Virginia. It lies in the Valley and Ridge section of the Appalachians, north of the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, where farmland and wooded slopes define the surrounding country. US Route 11 passes through town, continuing Chilhowie’s connection to a long-established north–south route across western Virginia. Rail and road have given its compact centre a practical, travel-oriented character, while the wider area leads toward the highlands around Mount Rogers.
