1963 Map of Stewartsville

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the high gaps and overlooks of the Blue Ridge mountains in this mid-century portrait of the border between Botetourt, Bedford, and Roanoke counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the wooded slopes of Coyner Mountain and Porter Mtn to the industrial and residential pockets near Bonsack and Blue Ridge. This era shows the local infrastructure supporting growing communities, including the Filtration Plant at Falling Creek Reservoir and the Beaverdam Res.
