1931 Map of Stuart

About this map

Meadows of Dan and the steep river gorges of the Pinnacles of Dan define this 1928 survey of the Virginia-North Carolina borderlands. The landscape is dotted with early 20th-century industry and community hubs, from Slates Mill and Gammons Mill to a dense network of local education centers like Central Academy and Edwardsville Sch. These labels reveal a rural economy still largely dependent on local milling and small, distributed settlements along the Dan River and Mayo River.
