About this map

Claytor Lake and the New River dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century Pulaski County survey, which documents the region as industrial growth and transportation networks expanded. The massive Radford Army Ammunition Plant occupies a significant portion of the northeast, while the Norfolk and Western railway and Interstate 81 corridor serve as the primary arteries through Dublin and Newbern.

Smaller settlements and family landmarks such as McAdam, Burlington Mills, and Shiloh are clearly defined, providing a bridge between the area's agricultural past and its industrial present. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Highland Memory Gardens, Liberty Ch, and Cecils Ch. The map also captures the topography of Draper Mtn and Peak Knob, marking the rugged transition between the river basin and the surrounding ridges.
