1965 Map of Long Spur

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Walker Mountain and Little Walker Mountain dominate this mid-century topographic survey, where the deep drainages of the Jefferson National Forest meet the rural reaches of Wythe, Bland, and Pulaski counties. The settlement of Long Spur serves as a focal point along the narrow valley floor, supported by community institutions like Spur Branch Sch and Davis Ch. The map illustrates a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, such as Panther Lick Hollow and Bearwallow Hollow, which constrained early development to the creek beds. To the south, the Gatewood Reservoir marks a significant hydrological feature, while the presence of the Appalachian Trail and a Lookout Tower atop the peaks highlights the region's transition into a managed recreational and forest resource area. The Norfolk and Western railway corridor and the small stop at Gunton Park reveal the vital transport links connecting these isolated highlands.
