1967 Map of Endicott

About this map

Blue Ridge Parkway winds across the high ridgelines of the Blue Ridge, serving as the primary corridor through this section of the Virginia highlands in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a rural landscape where the border between Franklin and Floyd counties is marked by community landmarks like the County Line Ch. Scattered rural settlements such as Endicott and Pizarro are connected by winding mountain roads, while the Smart View Recreation Area provides a public vista from the Smart View Overlook. Numerous small churches, including Harvestwood Ch and Silverleaf Ch, alongside rural nodes like Kings Store and Woods Store, point to a historically close-knit Appalachian social structure centered on family-named geographic features like Cannaday Gap and Turners Knob.
