1968 Map of Crockett

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway corridor defines the lower half of this landscape, connecting rural communities like Groseclose and Crockett during the late 1960s. The terrain transitions from the wooded slopes of the Jefferson National Forest and Little Walker Mountain in the north toward the agricultural valleys of Reed Creek. Religious life is well-documented through a dense concentration of local landmarks, including Mt Mitchell Ch, St Pauls Ch, and Holy Advent Ch. A unique industrial-scientific presence is found at the Wytheville National Fish Hatchery No 1, situated near Government Siding. The map illustrates the era's evolving transportation network, showing the modernization of major roadways labeled as 4 Lane highways cutting through historic settlements such as Blessing and Copenhagen.
