1971 Map of Bottom

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Fisher River and the Mitchell River carve through the prominent peaks of the Blue Ridge foothills, defining a landscape of isolated mountain communities in the early 1970s. The terrain is anchored by significant elevations like Skull Camp Mtn and Raven Knob, with the settlement of Bottom situated at the confluence of several watercourses. This area of Surry County is characterized by a dense network of local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches such as Salem Fork Ch and New Bethel Ch. The presence of Blevins Store and the Beulah Sch suggests the persistence of traditional rural hubs, while the labeling of the Sewage Disposal facility near Bottom indicates the encroachment of modern infrastructure into this agricultural and upland environment. Genealogists will find interest in the various unnamed cemeteries scattered near Ladonia and other small crossroads.
