1971 Map of Roaring Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Blue Ridge Parkway curves across the western landscape of this 1971 survey, serving as a high-elevation spine above the deeply dissected terrain of the Blue Ridge escarpment. The map documents a transition from the resort and recreational character of Roaring Gap, with its golf course and Fish Hatchery, to the rural valley communities of Devotion and Doughton. Settled life in the hollows is marked by numerous country sanctuaries such as Antioch Ch and Mitchell River Ch, while family ties to the land are preserved at the Thompson Cem and Walker Cem.
