1971 Map of Bottom

About this map

Skull Camp Mtn and Raven Knob anchor the high terrain of northern Surry County, where the transition from mountain foothills to rolling Piedmont farmland is evident in the 1970s landscape. Small, community-centered settlements like Ladonia and Salem Fork are defined by a network of rural churches and local landmarks, such as Blevins Store and the Beulah Sch. The drainage pattern is complex, with the Fisher River and Mitchell River systems carving through the topography, supported by numerous smaller tributaries like Hatchers Creek and Muddy Fork.
