1969 Map of Roanoke West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Roanoke serves as the primary hub in this corner of Randolph County, where the Coast Line and Seaboard railroads converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural churches and family-named landmarks, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure. From Rock Springs Ch in the north to Mission Mt Bethel Ch near the southern border, these small centers of assembly are often situated near the headwaters of local drainages like Cornhouse Creek and High Pine Creek. The presence of the Potash Lookout Tower and multiple radio towers suggests a terrain that, while punctuated by agriculture, remains focused on communication and timber management. Small settlements such as Rock Stand and Harmon Crossroads appear as quiet clusters along the winding secondary roads that connect the larger town of Roanoke to the surrounding hills and shoals.
