1969 Map of Arrington
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Tye River and Piney River converge in this Piedmont landscape, defining a rural economy tied to the river valleys and the Southern railroad. In the late 1960s, the area around Arrington and Colleen shows a network of family-centered landmarks and community hubs, including the County High Sch and County Jr High Sch. The map reveals a deeply etched topography where Hubbard Hill and Geddes Mtn overlook older settlements like New Glasgow and Kingswood. This era finds the region transitioning, with a Landing Strip and industrial infrastructure like a Substation and Quarries appearing alongside numerous country churches such as White Rock Ch and Little Zion Ch. The winding course of the Tye River creates a natural boundary between Nelson and Amherst counties, anchoring a terrain characterized by deep hollows like Freshwater Cove Run and Dillard Cove.
