1965 Map of Newport

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The northern edge of Blacksburg and the winding course of Sinking Creek define this 1960s landscape, which transitioned into the late 1970s with several residential and infrastructural updates. The map reveals a region of sharp ridges and deep hollows, notably Clover Hollow and the prominent Sinking Creek Mountain. For those studying local heritage, the map documents numerous rural landmarks such as Clover Hollow Ch, Mt Olivet Ch, and the Covered Bridge near Newport. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Julian Knob and Keister Hill, while the Appalachian Trail traverses the high ridges through the Jefferson National Forest. This survey captures a moment when traditional rural settlements like Huffman and Slusser existed alongside the expanding footprint of the university town to the south, evidenced by updated purple revisions including a Trailer Park and new road alignments.
