USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Ararat River valley and its surrounding ridges anchor this 1960s study of the Piedmont borderlands, where the Blue Ridge begins to rise from the North Carolina and Virginia state line. The city of Mount Airy serves as the primary hub, showing early suburban expansion alongside established infrastructure like the Southern railroad and the Radio Tower (WPAQ). The settlement pattern reveals a landscape defined by small rural communities and mountain gaps, with clusters of activity around Ararat, The Hollow, and Toast.
