1967 Map of Nettleridge

About this map

South Mayo River and Smith River carve through the landscape along the Virginia-North Carolina border, defining a region of small rural settlements and country crossroads. This mid-century survey captures the community of Nettleridge and several rural commerce hubs such as Moorefield Store and Lackey Store. The map is particularly dense with historic religious landmarks, including Tatum Macedonia Ch, Trinity Ch, and High Point Ch, alongside numerous family burial grounds marked simply as cemeteries. Industrial history is represented by Gilbert Mill on Russell Creek, while the surveyor's precision is noted by a Gaging Sta on the riverbank. This map provides a detailed view of the Patrick and Stokes County line before modern development altered the rural road and settlement patterns of the upper Piedmont.
