1968 Map of Clarksville North

About this map

The Roanoke River and Dan River define the southern landscape of this 1968 Mecklenburg County survey, their confluence submerged beneath the John H Kerr Reservoir. This massive water body shapes the local geography, creating the deeply indented shoreline of Occoneechee State Park and providing access via the Occoneechee Harbor. To the north, the terrain transitions into a network of creek drainages, where the Southern and Norfolk and Western railroads once moved goods through rural hubs like Jeffress and Clarksville.
