1994 Map of Castleton

About this map

The Hazel River and Thornton River carve through the foothills of the Blue Ridge, defining a landscape of traditional Piedmont agriculture and small upland settlements. While the topography was compiled in 1959, the 1994 photoinspection maintains a record of long-standing community centers like Eggbornsville, Eldorada, and Griffinsburg. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions that served these farming communities, including numerous country churches such as Gourdvine Ch, Beulah Ch, and New Salem Ch.
