1968 Map of Clarksville North

About this map

The confluence of the Roanoke River and the Dan River dominates this landscape, now transformed by the waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir. The map illustrates the region's adaptation to this major water feature, showing numerous boat ramps and the establishment of the Occoneechee State Park and Marina near Clarksville. Away from the shoreline, the terrain is defined by a network of drainage branches such as Persimmon Tree Branch and Peckerwood Branch that feed into the Bluestone Creek arm of the reservoir.
