1966 Map of Boomer

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The W Kerr Scott Reservoir dominates the northern landscape, where the waters of the Yadkin River and Lewis Fork meet. This mid-1960s survey captures a transition in Wilkes County topography, showing the newly created reservoir's shoreline along with established public use areas like the Smitheys Creek Public Use Area and the Warrior Creek Boat Ramp. South of the water, the terrain rises into the Brushy Mountains, marked by peaks such as Stoneman Mtn and Mars Mtn. Rural life centers on small crossroads like Ferguson and Boomer, supported by local institutions like the Boomer-Ferguson Sch and Beaver Creek Ch. The map provides a detailed view of the winding mountain roads, including Dula Road, and tracing the county lines where Wilkes meets Alexander and Caldwell counties near Ellendale and Beaver.
