1977 Map of Bracey
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Lake Gaston dominates this 1977 orthophotoquad, where the massive impoundment of the Roanoke River straddles the border between Virginia and North Carolina. This aerial perspective, prepared in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Natural and Economic Resources, reveals the intricate shoreline and surrounding timberland during a period of significant recreational and residential development. The map details established communities such as Bracey and Palmer Springs, alongside smaller settlements like Beechwood and Paschall. The imagery provides a clear view of the transportation corridors and land-use patterns typical of the Southside Virginia region in the late 1970s, showing the contrast between the expansive waters of the reservoir and the agricultural clearings that define the local topography.
