1977 Map of John H Kerr Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The John H Kerr Dam stands as the central engineering feature of this landscape, anchoring the massive John H Kerr Reservoir along the border of Virginia and North Carolina. This orthophotograph, prepared from 1977 aerial imagery by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service, provides a high-contrast visual record of the intricate shoreline and the surrounding agricultural tracts. To the south, the Roanoke River feeds into Lake Gaston, while the wooded and cleared lands of the Rose Hill area reveal the land-use patterns of the late 1970s. The map captures a moment before further shoreline development, showing the transition from riverine flow to controlled reservoir levels in Mecklenburg County.
