1967 Map of Brierpatch Mountain

About this map

Brierpatch Mountain dominates the landscape of this portion of Grayson County, where the highlands of the Jefferson National Forest meet the winding course of the New River. The map reveals a rural economy centered on local crossroads and natural resources, evidenced by the scattered locations of Clito Mill, Hacklers Store, and several gravel pits. Settlement patterns are defined by small communities such as Fallville and Spring Valley, which are anchored by a dense network of country churches including Jerusalem Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Atkins Ch. The topography is marked by prominent peaks like Point Lookout Mtn and Lundy Knob, while the valley floors support local institutions like the Providence Sch and even a Drive-in Theater near Providence.
