1921 Map of Greenland Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Greenland Gap serves as a dramatic geological focal point where the North Fork Patterson Creek cuts through the ridges of Knobby Mountain. This 1919 survey by engineers like C.H. Birdseye and Frank Sutton captures a landscape defined by its isolated mountain schools and rural church communities. From Locust Grove Church in the northwest to the Oak Grove Church near Kessel, the map reveals a highly decentralized settlement pattern where education was served by numerous small institutions such as Thrashy Run School and One Mountain School.
