1965 Map of Rocky Mount

About this map

Rocky Mount serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated where the Norfolk and Western railway winds through the complex valley of the Pigg River. The landscape is a network of small upland communities like Waidsboro and Barfoot, characterized by a high density of rural institutions such as Coles Creek Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Waid Sch. Significant terrain features like Thornton Mountain and Cooks Knob define the topography, while early infrastructure such as the Radio Tower (WKWS) and a local Landing Strip signal the area's mid-century development. The numerous small cemeteries and family-named water bodies like Chestnut Creek provide a detailed view of the established settlement patterns in this part of Franklin County.
