1966 Map of Mouth Of Wilson

About this map

The New River winds across the state line between Virginia and North Carolina, defining a landscape of isolated ridges and tight river bends during the mid-1960s. The settlement at Mouth of Wilson serves as a primary crossing point where Wilson Creek meets the main channel. To the south, in Ashe and Alleghany Counties, the terrain rises toward Bakers Ridge and Grassy Knob, supporting a network of rural institutions like the Piney Creek High Sch and Bakers Ridge Mission.
