1957 Map of Shooting Creek

About this map

Chatuge Lake dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the waters reach into the southern Appalachian valleys during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Shooting Creek serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities, characterized by a high density of country churches and schools that define the local social fabric. Significant landmarks like the Old Shooting Creek Ch and the Shooting Creek School stand near the banks of the creek, while the Galloway Hill Cem provides a point of interest for those tracing family history in Clay County.
