1965 Map of Northeast Eden

About this map

The Dan River and Smith River converge in this borderland survey, illustrating the industrial and transportation nexus of Eden during the mid-1960s. The Southern railroad serves as a primary artery, connecting local hubs like Draper, Spray, and the Central Area. Significant infrastructure, including the Tri-City Airport and numerous pipelines, highlights the region's modernization, yet the landscape remains dotted with older community markers. Numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Piney Fork Ch and Blue Creek Cem, are scattered across the terrain from Aiken Summit to Sandy Level. The map also captures several distinctive local landmarks, including the Meadow Greens Country Club and the Morgan Ford Bridge crossing the Smith River. This survey is particularly notable for its detailed recording of the Virginia and North Carolina state line, cutting through settlements like Leaksville Junction.
