1968 Map of Clarksville South

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir dominate this landscape, branching into numerous inlets such as Blue Creek and Distillery Creek along the Virginia and North Carolina border. The settlement of Clarksville sits at the northern confluence, where the Norfolk Franklin and Danville and Southern railroads intersect. Local history is preserved in several rural landmarks, including the Oakhurst Cem and the Hillcrest Sch, reflecting the community structure before more modern infrastructure like Marks Municipal Airport was developed. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by small creek branches like Spewmarrow Creek and Cedar Branch, eventually reaching the Island Creek Reservoir. This 1968 survey, updated with 1979 photorevisions, illustrates the transformation of the Roanoke River valley into a major recreation and water management system, anchored by the Occoneechee State Park.
