1967 Map of Nettleridge

About this map

The South Mayo River winds through the borderlands of the Piedmont in the late 1960s, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural hubs and dispersed family-named landmarks. The map reveals the community structure of the time, centered around general stores like Moorefield Store, Lackey Store, and Shelton Store, which served as local points of commerce along the winding roads. Religious life is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous congregations such as Tatum Macedonia Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Hinnies Chapel.
