1965 Map of Cumberland Knob

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the crest of the Blue Ridge, crossing the state line between Virginia and North Carolina in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its high-elevation landmarks, including Cumberland Knob and Saddle Mtn, which overlook a network of creek valleys and scattered rural communities. Early mid-century commerce and recreation are visible in features like the Drive-in Theater near The Glades and the McKnights Mill on Chestnut Creek.
