1963 Map of Prater

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Russell Fork and Russell Prater Creek carve through the deep hollows of the Cumberland Plateau in this 1963 survey of the Virginia highlands. The map centers on the small mountain community of Prater at the junction of several drainage branches, illustrating a landscape where roads like the Jeb Stuart Highway are forced to follow the winding path of the river valleys. The border between Dickenson and Buchanan Counties meanders across these ridges, passing notable landmarks such as Butcherknife and Painter Lick.
