1972 Map of Aonia

About this map

The Little River and the expansive reaches of Clark Hill Lake dominate the southern landscape of this 1970s survey, marking a region shaped by both its natural drainage and mid-century water management. Along the northern heights, Graves Mtn stands near the industrial activity of the Ship Mine and its associated Tailings Pond, indicating a local economy tied to the land's geological resources. The rural character of Wilkes County is further defined by its tight-knit community structures, where small settlements like Aonia and Adasburg serve as anchors for a network of country roads.
