1971 Map of Blacksburg North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Broad River and First Broad River converge along the state line in this 1971 survey of the Piedmont, where the rural landscapes of Cleveland Co, North Carolina, and Cherokee Co, South Carolina, meet. The industrial footprint of the era is evident through the Gaston Shoals power development, multiple substations, and Industrial Waste Ponds near Earl. The Southern railroad line serves as a spine for the community of Patterson Springs and smaller railside stops, while the interior is dotted with a dense network of country congregations such as Old Falls Chapel, Youngs Grove Ch, and Maple Springs Ch. On the South Carolina side, the terrain rises toward Whittaker Mountain north of Blacksburg, overlooking a patchwork of creek valleys like Bowens River and Hickory Creek.
