1958 Map of Chilhowie

About this map

Chilhowie serves as the central hub of this Appalachian landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railway and Lee Highway parallel the course of the Middle Fork Holston River. This corridor shows a dense pattern of settlement and industry, including the Chilhowie Beacon and the Huff Airport south of town. The map reveals a complex web of family lineage and local history through numerous burial grounds like Aspenvale Cem, Greever Cem, and Parris Cem, often situated near rural congregations such as Washington Springs Church and Campbells Chapel.
