1964 Map of Pinnacle

About this map

Pilot Mountain and the surrounding Pilot Mountain State Park dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, which captures the intersection of three North Carolina counties. The rugged terrain of Sauratown Mountain to the east frames a valley defined by the Little Yadkin River and the Yadkin River. Human settlement is concentrated along the Southern railway line, where the community of Pinnacle serves as a local hub. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, documented through numerous country churches like Mt Moriah Ch and family burial sites such as Stone Cem and Wall Cem. Purple photorevised updates from the early 1980s highlight changes in woodland cover and infrastructure, including the Rest Area and expanded local roads, while the original 1964 data preserves the footprint of institutions like Pinnacle Sch.
