1968 Map of Bracey

About this map

Lake Gaston dominates this landscape along the border of Virginia and North Carolina, where the Roanoke River was transformed into a massive reservoir. The map reveals the early years of the lake's development, documenting shoreline communities like Beechwood and the critical crossing at Goode Ferry Bridge. Further south, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and timber lands of Warren County, North Carolina, and Mecklenburg County, Virginia, dotted with numerous rural congregations such as Roanoke Zion Ch and Bethlehem Ch.
