1965 Map of Northwest Eden

About this map

Leaksville and Spray anchor the southeastern corner of this landscape, positioned along the banks of the Smith River and the Southern railway. This late 1960s perspective captures a pivotal moment for these industrial textile centers before their formal consolidation. The map reveals the intricate network of mill-town streets and infrastructure, including the Townhall and local landmarks like Lakeside Sch. Moving north across the Virginia North Carolina state line, the terrain shifts into the rural ridges of Henry County, dominated by features like Sheffield Hill and Drag Mtn.
