1968 Map of Glade Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway defines the high-country landscape of the Blue Ridge in the late 1960s, winding across the crest of Bullhead Mountain and past prominent outlooks such as Mahogany Rock Overlook and Air Bellows Overlook. This survey captures a rural Appalachian economy transitioning toward recreation and conservation, evidenced by the proximity of Little Glade Millpond to established camps like Camp Cheerio and Camp Albert Butler. To the north, the terrain softens into the agricultural basins of the Little River and Glade Creek, where small crossroads like Glade Valley and Cherry Lane are anchored by local congregations at Macedonia Ch and Laura Glenn Ch. An intriguing Aerial Tramway near Deep Gap suggests specialized land use or transport in the steep Devils Garden Creek area, while the boundary between Alleghany and Wilkes counties follows the natural ridgeline.
