1928 Map of Critz

About this map

The Danville and Western Railway winds through the southern foothills of the Blue Ridge in the late 1920s, serving a landscape defined by small-scale milling and rural commerce. This survey captures a dense network of mountain communities centered around family-run landmarks like Stones Store and Rogers Mill. The topography is marked by significant heights such as Bull Mountain and No Business Mountain, while the valleys are populated by numerous small institutions, including the Blue Ridge Mission Sch and Minnie Chapel.
