1968 Map of Glade Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Blue Ridge Mountains dominate this 1960s landscape along the Alleghany and Wilkes county line, where the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the high terrain. Notable overlooks like Mahogany Rock Overlook and Bullhead Mtn Overlook offer vantage points over a network of hollows and ridges, including Scott Ridge and Rich Mountain. Rural life is centered around the community of Glade Valley and scattered country churches, including New Salem Church, Pine Swamp Church, and Macedonia Church. The area’s water power is evidenced by the Little Glade Millpond on Glade Creek, while recreational facilities like the Ymca Camp Cheerio and Camp Albert Butler reflect the mid-century development of the mountains for seasonal use. Geologically significant features such as Stone Mountain and Wolf Rock define the southern portion of the quadrangle.
