1947 Map of Looneys Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Clinch Mountain and Copper Ridge dominate this corner of the Appalachian Valley, creating a landscape of alternating high ridges and narrow agricultural bottoms along the Clinch River. The map highlights the traditional river-and-ridge lifestyle of the mid-20th century, where travel was dictated by breaks in the terrain like Looneys Gap and river crossings such as Horton Ford. Small, localized communities are centered around institutions like the Wake Forest School, Daugherty Chapel, and the County Farm near Gravelly Valley.
