1967 Map of Peaks Of Otter

About this map

Sharp Top Mtn and Flat Top Mtn anchor this high-relief landscape along the border of Botetourt and Bedford counties. The mid-century character of the region is defined by the winding Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail, which trace the heights through the Jefferson National Forest. Below the peaks, the landscape transitions into a working agricultural and milling district, evidenced by Kelso Mill, Penicks Mill, and Big Otter Mill situated along the drainage of Stony Creek and the Big Otter River.
