1977 Map of Clarksville South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Clarksville serves as a northern anchor on this orthophoto map, where the sprawling waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir dominate the landscape. Unlike traditional line maps, this 1977 aerial perspective from the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the literal footprint of the land, showing the dense forested tracts and cleared agricultural fields surrounding the reservoir's fingers. To the west, the crossroads of Buffalo Junction and Sandy Fork appear alongside a patchwork of rural homesteads and roads. The imagery provides a clear view of the water's edge along Grassy Creek and the notable terrain at Shiny Rock, documenting the Virginia-North Carolina border region during the late 1970s. This visual record is particularly useful for observing land use and property boundaries as they existed shortly after the reservoir had fully reshaped the local topography.
