2000 Map of Bottom

About this map

The Fisher River and Mitchell River drain this portion of the Piedmont, where agricultural valleys are bounded by the rising slopes of Skull Camp Mtn and Raven Knob. This survey reflects a landscape defined by small rural hubs and historical religious centers at the turn of the 21st century. Highlighting the local community structure are the Beulah Sch and several country churches, including New Bethel Ch and Salem Fork Ch. The presence of Camp Raven Knob in the western hills and the rural commercial node at Blevins Store provide a window into the region's mid-to-late 20th-century development. While modern transport is evidenced by Interchange 100, the map preserves the names of smaller, older settlements like Ladonia and Bottom, offering genealogists a clear view of how these communities related to the local terrain.
