About this map

Bent Mountain towers over the headwaters of the Roanoke River, serving as a prominent landmark in this 1960s survey that documents the transition from rural highlands to the expanding suburban fringe of Roanoke. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the crests, connecting gaps like Lancaster Gap and Slings Gap, while the valley floor is defined by long-standing agricultural and industrial sites such as Poages Mill. To the northeast, the growth of Cave Spring is visible through its evolving school system, including Cave Spring High Sch and Oak Grove Sch.
