1965 Map of Newport

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Newport serves as a focal point in this 1960s survey of the Virginia highlands, where the Sinking Creek valley carves between steep ridges. The map illustrates a rural landscape where narrow hollows dictate the placement of local institutions like Clover Hollow Ch and Mountain Mission. The terrain is dominated by the parallel rises of Sinking Creek Mountain and Brush Mountain, both part of the Jefferson National Forest. Evidence of small-scale industry and mountain life appears through labels for Mines and a Coal Tipple near Slussers. To the south, Mt Tabor anchors a more open agricultural area. A significant section of the Appalachian Trail winds across the ridges, and a notable Covered Bridge is marked near the Newport Recreation Area, highlighting the intersection of traditional infrastructure and emerging mid-century recreation.
