1939 Map of Mount Rogers

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Mt Rogers towers over the high-country landscape of the Balsam Mountains and Iron Mountains, documenting the intersection of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee in the mid-1930s. The settlement of Konnarock serves as a central hub for the region, complete with the Konnarock Girls Sch. The rail-dependent economy of these mountain communities is clearly defined by the Norfolk and Western Ry, which snakes through the steep terrain along Whitetop and Taylors Valley. This survey captures the wilderness infrastructure of the Jefferson National Forest during a period of transition, showing the early route of the Appalachian Trail as it traverses the peaks of Seng Mountain and Hurricane Mtn. Small rural life is preserved in the locations of Lebanon Ch, James Cem, and isolated schools like the Mud Creek Sch in Grayson County.
