About this map

Patrick Springs serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape, situated just east of the Blue Ridge Parkway during the mid-to-late 1960s. The area is defined by sharp topographic transitions, where high points like Richwood Knob and No Business Mountain overlook a network of valley settlements and agricultural clearings. The map reveals a community centered on local institutions, including the Hardin Reynolds Memorial Sch and several country churches such as Liberty Ch and Fairystone Ch.

Industry and recreation intersect near the South Mayo River, where a Drive-in Theater and a nearby Quarry suggest the evolving landscape of the era. The presence of the Lookout Tower on Richwood Knob emphasizes the importance of forest management in this timber-rich region of Patrick County. Further south, the settlement of Critz marks a transition toward the river valley, surrounded by small family cemeteries and seasonal creeks like Spoon Creek.
