1963 Map of Callaway

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway winds across the high ridges of the Blue Ridge and Middle Ridge, tracing the boundary between Franklin and Floyd counties. This 1963 survey captures the rural character of the region, where family life was centered around small mountain gaps and church congregations such as Pippin Hill Ch and Monte Vista Ch. The landscape is deeply dissected by the headwaters of the North Fork Blackwater River and South Fork Blackwater River, which converge near the village of Callaway. Numerous family cemeteries, including Wilson Cem, Beckner Cem, and Stanley Cem, are scattered throughout the hollows, offering a detailed record of the area's ancestral residents. From the heights of Cahas Mountain down to the settlement at Algoma, the map documents a network of unimproved roads and foot trails that once connected these remote homesteads and small communities like Retreat.
