1996 Map of Mount Airy South

About this map

The Ararat River flows southward through this corner of Surry County, carving a path through the foothills as transportation networks evolved in the late twentieth century. Highlighting the region's modernization, new highway infrastructure is marked as Under Construction, diverging from established routes that connect Mount Airy and Bannertown. The map documents a high density of rural religious life, with numerous landmarks like Sulphur Springs Ch, Grace Ch, and Little Mountain Ch serving as focal points for local communities. Aviation and industrial needs are evident at the Mt Airy-Surry Co Airport and the large Quarry operation near Stewarts Creek. From the heights of Chestnut Ridge to the bottomlands along Toms Creek, the landscape reflects a balance of traditional settlements and expanding municipal services.
