1964 Map of Price

About this map

The Virginia-North Carolina border bisects this 1964 survey, capturing a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the North Mayo River and South Mayo River. The southern portion in Madison, North Carolina, centers on the small community of Price, where the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor runs parallel to the highway. This era shows a distributed rural settlement pattern anchored by numerous country houses of worship, such as Christian View Ch and Mathews Chapel. To the north in Henry County, Virginia, the topography rises toward Chestnut Knob, which overlooks the Marrowbone Reservoir and the Prison Camp. The map documents a transition from the river bottomlands, including Buffalo Creek and Matrimony Creek, to the higher ridges and peaks like Holt Mtn.
