1967 Map of Buffalo Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Patterson and the winding course of the Yadkin River anchor this mid-century view of the Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is defined by its deep coves and narrow ridges, where small communities like Buffalo Cove, Finley, and Legerwood are linked by rural roads and mountain gaps. The presence of several early milling operations, including Lowder Mill, Moody Mill, and Rader Mill, suggests a local economy still closely tied to its watercourses and timber. Along the slopes of the Blue Ridge, the Pisgah National Forest covers much of the high ground, punctuated by landmarks such as White Rock Mtn and Raven Rock Knob. Local life is further evidenced by several country churches, such as Bethany Ch and the Chapel of Rest, alongside the Patterson Sch, which served as a focal point for the Yadkin Valley residents during this era of topographic mapping.
