1963 Map of Bent Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Bent Mountain and the high ridges of the Blue Ridge define this mid-century landscape where the suburban expansion of Cave Spring meets the agricultural uplands. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the center of the sheet, punctuated by numerous scenic points like the Poages Mill Overlook and Slings Gap Overlook. Lower-elevation communities such as Starkey and Naff are clustered near water sources like Back Creek and the South Fork of the Blackwater River. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Kittinger Cem, Lancaster Ch, and the Lawrence Memorial Ch. The topography shows a transition from the developing residential corridors near Cave Spring High Sch to the high, isolated summits of Poor Mountain and Lost Mountain.
