1968 Map of Crockett

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Jefferson National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Wythe County landscape, where Little Walker Mountain rises above the drainages of Stony Fork and Sally Run. The map illustrates a transitional era of transportation in Southwest Virginia, featuring the construction of the Interchange 20 and 4 Lane highway system paralleling the traditional route of the Norfolk and Western railway. This rail corridor serves as the anchor for rural communities like Groseclose and Crockett, while the Wytheville National Fish Hatchery No 1 marks a significant specialized land use near the South Fork of Reed Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of rural houses of worship, including Holy Advent Ch, New Bethel Ch, and Mt Ephraim Ch, which reflect the established social fabric of these valley settlements. The presence of Government Siding and a major Pipeline corridor further suggests the area's role in regional infrastructure and commerce during the late 1960s.
