1963 Map of Bent Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bent Mountain rises sharply at the southern edge of this survey, where the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through gaps such as Slings Gap and Lancaster Gap. The map documents a period of rapid suburban transition around Cave Spring and the northern reaches of Roanoke Co, while the steep slopes of Poor Mountain and Lost Mountain remain largely undeveloped. The drainage patterns of Back Creek and Barnhardt Creek define the rugged topography, supporting small rural clusters like Poages Mill and Airpoint.
