About this map

Iron Mountain and the surrounding highlands dominate this 1930s-era survey of the borderlands between Virginia and North Carolina. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain ridges including Stone Mountain and Haw Orchard Mtn, where small communities like Troutdale and Fairwood are situated along the valley floors. The mapping of numerous rural institutions such as Rockbridge Sch, Bethel Sch, and Burton Chapel suggests a decentralized settlement pattern focused on local schoolhouses and churches that served isolated hollows.
