1968 Map of John H Kerr Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

John H Kerr Dam controls the flow of the Roanoke River along the border of Virginia and North Carolina, creating the expansive John H Kerr Reservoir. This 1981 revision reflects the extensive recreational infrastructure of the late 20th century, including the North Bend Public Use Area, Kimball Point Public Use Area, and several boat ramps that serve the flooded valley. Despite the dominance of the reservoir, the map preserves the locations of older communities and spiritual landmarks such as Cusco Willa, Keats, Shiloh Ch, and Lands Chapel. To the north, the Elm Hill State Game Management Area occupies the land between the river and Kettles Creek, while the presence of an old Railroad Grade and the Allen Grade hint at the area's former terrestrial transport networks before the valley was inundated.
