1961 Map of Sugar Tree Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Sugar Tree Ridge sits as the central high ground in this Highland County landscape, where the headwaters of the East Fork White Oak Creek and Sugar Creek diverge. The map documents a rural agricultural network at the transition from the 1950s into the early 1960s, punctuated by the Norfolk and Western railroad line passing through Mowrystown and East Danville. This region is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, such as the Van Winkle Cem, Gibler Cem, and Carrier Cem, offering a detailed spatial record for genealogical research. The presence of the Landing Strip near the center of the sheet reflects the evolving infrastructure of the mid-century, while established landmarks like Union Chapel and the Wesley Chapel Cems anchor the long-standing rural community centers of White Oak and Concord townships.
