1959 Map of Baldwin Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Stone Mountain and the North Fork of the New River define this mid-century portrait of the high country straddling the North Carolina and Tennessee border. The landscape is dotted with small, creek-side communities such as Creston, Sutherland, and Ashland, where the settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys of North Fork New River and its numerous tributaries. Life here in the late 1950s centered around local institutions like Hammon Chapel, Rock Creek Methodist Church, and the Forge Sch, with dozens of family burial grounds including Sutherland Cem and Graybeal Cem providing deep roots for genealogists.
