1968 Map of Meadows of Dan

About this map

Mabry Mill and the Meadows of Dan settlement anchor this study of the Blue Ridge highlands as they appeared in the mid-1960s with 1980s updates. The landscape is defined by the winding Blue Ridge Parkway and the industrial engineering of the Dan River, which features the Talbott Dam, Townes Dam, and an extensive aqueduct tunnel leading to the Pinnacles Powerplant. Rural community life is visible through numerous country churches like Tory Creek Ch and New Bell Spur Ch, alongside local landmarks such as Cockram Millpond. The topography is a complex network of high peaks including Hurricane Knob and the Pinnacles of Dan, marking the boundaries where Floyd, Carroll, and Patrick counties meet.
