1956 Map of Collettsville

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Collettsville serves as the central hub of this mid-century mountain landscape, situated at the confluence of the Johns River and Mulberry Creek. The 1956 survey reveals a network of rural communities and remote mountain peaks, including Joe White Mtn and High Knob, within the Pisgah National Forest. The topography is defined by sharp ridges like Baird Ridge and Sally Ridge that hem in the narrow river valleys where small settlements and country churches are found. Genealogists may find value in the distinct placement of local landmarks such as Conways Chapel, Green Valley Ch, and Fleming Chapel. The map also captures the path of the Johns River as it winds through the heart of the terrain, flanked by numerous small tributaries like Estes Mill Br and Lurkin Br, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to the drainage systems of the Blue Ridge foothills.
