1996 Map of Laurel Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

South Fork New River meanders through the high country of the Blue Ridge, marking the boundary between Ashe and Alleghany counties. This landscape is defined by its small farming communities and numerous country churches, such as Mt Zion Church, Bellview Ch, and Roan Creek Ch. The settlement of Laurel Springs serves as a local hub near the Parkway, while smaller hamlets like Furches and Scottville are tucked between the ridges. The terrain is notably steep, punctuated by peaks like The Peak, Ore Knob, and the prominent Peach Bottom Mountain. Several quarries and a network of older routes like Hoke Wagoner Road and Gentry Rd suggest the local history of resource extraction and transit before modern highway improvements changed the pace of life in these Appalachian highlands.
