1968 Map of Fancy Gap

About this map

The Blue Ridge crest forms a dramatic spine through this 1960s survey, marking a landscape of high knobs and steep ravines where the plateau breaks toward the Piedmont. Central to the sheet is the settlement of Fancy Gap, a vital mountain pass where local life centered around the Fancy Gap Sch and Fancy Gap Ch. The cultural geography is defined by a high density of rural institutions, from Sky View Ch near the gap to the family-named Webb Cem and Morris Cem.
