1968 Map of Mc Grady

About this map

McGrady and Halls Mills anchor this mountainous landscape in Wilkes County during the late 1960s, a region defined by the complex drainage systems of the Mulberry River and the Roaring River. The topography is dominated by massive ridges including Blue Ridge and Chestnut Mountain, while much of the northern terrain is preserved within the Thurmond Chatham Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a deeply established rural community, tracing the winding paths of Long Bottom Road and Radical Road.
