1970 Map of Mount Airy South

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Ararat River carves a deep valley through this Piedmont landscape, serving as the topographical anchor for the communities of Mount Airy and Bannertown. By 1970, the southern reaches of the Granite City show a mix of industrial activity and rural persistence, with numerous Quarries and the Mt Airy-Surry Co Airport operating alongside established family and community landmarks. The map is particularly rich in ecclesiastical and genealogical data, documenting a dense network of country churches including Zion Ch, Holy Springs Ch, and Little Mountain Ch. Settlement patterns follow the winding paths of Stewarts Creek and Toms Creek, while the prominent Chestnut Ridge rises to the east. These details illustrate the transition from traditional agriculture to a more diversified economy centered around the granite industry and regional transportation.
