1964 Map of Pilot Mountain

About this map

The boundary between Surry Co and Stokes Co bisects this mid-1960s landscape, centered on the landmark town of Pilot Mountain. The town serves as a hub for the southern portion of the map, situated along the Southern railroad line and supported by municipal infrastructure like the Pilot Mountain Filtration Plant. To the north, the community of Westfield sits at the junction of several rural routes including Westfield Road and Dearman Road, serving a countryside defined by deep agricultural and family ties. This history is preserved in a dense network of small family burial grounds and community churches, such as Toms Creek Ch, Jessup Grove Ch, and the Venable Cem. The terrain transitions from the rolling hills of Quaker Gap toward the distinct rise of Sauratown Mtn in the southeast, while numerous watercourses like Toms Creek and Big Creek drain the surrounding valley.
