1968 Map of Traphill

About this map

Greenstreets Mountain dominates the center of this landscape, dividing the waters of Roaring River and Carters Creek in northwestern Wilkes County. In the late 1960s, the area remained a network of rural communities, where small settlements like Traphill and Abshers were anchored by an exceptionally high density of local churches. These centers of community life, including Christian Home Ch and New Covenant Ch, are scattered across the winding ridgelines and creek valleys, often connected by narrow routes like Abshers Road and Church Road.
