1966 Map of Roanoke

About this map

Small settlements and rural church sites dot the valley of the West Fk River and its numerous winding tributaries during the mid-1960s. The landscape of Court House and Collins Settlement is defined by a dense network of extraction points, with scores of Gas Wells and Oil Wells peppered across the ridgelines near Roanoke and Vandalia. This era shows the early integration of resource management and recreation, specifically noting the Stonewall Jackson Lake Public Hunting and Fishing Area and the Stonecoal Reservoir in the northeast.
