1966 Map of New Castle
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
New Castle serves as the focal point for this 1960s study of the Craig Creek valley, where the landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Potts Mountain and Bald Mountain. The era's transportation and land-use patterns are evident in the remaining Old Railroad Grade and Railroad Grade sections that once followed the watercourses. Smaller rural clusters like Marshalltown, Pine Top, and Barbours Creek are depicted with their local landmarks, including the Barbours Creek Sch and Cross Roads Ch. The map highlights the recreational and mineral heritage of the area, featuring Virginia Mineral Springs, the Fenwick Mines Campground, and Camp Easter Seal. Industry and infrastructure are further represented by localized sandpits, a Mine, and a Drive-in Theater near the town center, showing the transition from extractive labor to mid-century community services.
