1965 Map of Ironto

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Paris Mountain and Hightop Mountain dominate this landscape of the Roanoke River valley, where the Norfolk and Western railway threads through a network of steep hollows and narrow gaps. The community of Ironto serves as a focal point along the North Fork Roanoke River, while to the south, the settlement of Montgomery sits near the base of Den Hill. This survey highlights the region's industrial and spiritual landmarks, from the Iron Mine and Quarry to rural congregations at Mt Calvary Ch, Halls Ch, and Garber Chapel. The map documents the intricate valley geography, naming dozens of specific drainages like Houchins Hollow and Coffee Valley that defined early landholdings. To the southeast, the terrain softens slightly near Shawsville and Alleghany Springs, reflecting the transition from high ridgelines to the river's lower reaches.
