1968 Map of Glade Valley

About this map

Blue Ridge Parkway meanders across the high elevations of the Blue Ridge, connecting several scenic points including Mahogany Rock Overlook and Air Bellows Overlook. This late-1960s survey documents a landscape where the Alleghany and Wilkes county line follows the natural crest, dividing the high plateau of the north from the dramatic slopes of Scott Ridge to the south. The rural character of the region is defined by scattered houses and community anchors like Macedonia Ch and New Salem Ch.
