1966 Map of Grandin

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Yadkin Valley and surrounding ridge lines dominate this 1960s topographic study, capturing a landscape of family-named peaks and rural valley floor settlements. The boundary between Wilkes and Caldwell Counties snakes across the northern terrain through Elk Ridge and past Wheat Patch Mtn. Of particular interest to local historians is the location of Fort Defiance near the Yadkin River, alongside a network of country churches such as Maria Chapel, German Chapel, and Mount Bethel Ch. The map also details the early presence of the W Kerr Scott Reservoir on the eastern edge. Settlement patterns follow the river and creek valleys, where small communities like Elkville, Grandin, and Darby are connected by rural routes like Laytown Road and Kings Creek Road.
