1966 Map of Maple Springs

About this map

Mt Zion and Maple Springs anchor the southeastern portion of this 1966 topographic survey, capturing a rural landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Blue Ridge mountains. The northern boundary follows the winding path of the Blue Ridge Parkway, offering scenic vistas from the Thomkins Knob Overlook and Cascade Overlook near Pine Swamp. This era reveals a community closely tied to its terrain, where small settlements and rural churches like Yellow Hill Ch and Mountain View Ch are tucked into the valleys of Fall Creek and Lewis Fork.
