1965 Map of Newport

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Sinking Creek winds through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, defining the valley floor between Johns Creek Mountain and Sinking Creek Mountain. The settlement of Newport serves as a local hub, featuring a Water Tank and nearby Newport Recreation Area. To the south, the northern edge of Blacksburg begins to climb toward Brush Mountain, where the Appalachian Scenic Trail follows the ridgeline. This mid-century survey captures a rural environment deeply rooted in faith and community, marked by numerous small churches such as Slussers Chapel and Mt Tabor Ch. The presence of a Covered Bridge and several old mill sites like Lugar Mill highlights the historic reliance on local waterpower. Much of the high ground is preserved within the Jefferson National Forest, shielding landmarks like Kelly Knob and Wolf Knob from development.
