1959 Map of Trout Dale

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Trout Dale and the surrounding mountain ridges of Jefferson National Forest define this 1959 survey of the Smyth and Grayson county border. The landscape is marked by the rugged heights of Pine Mountain and Straight Mountain, with the Appalachian Trail winding through the western terrain near Fairwood. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of Fox Creek, where local life centered around small rural nodes like Grant and Volney. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and community sites, including Comers Creek Ch, Friendship Ch, and numerous burial grounds such as Blevins Cem and Fairwood Cem. The map captures a moment before modern development, showing the original routes of the Buchanan Highway and Highway 16 as they navigate the steep gaps between Bobbys Ridge and Iron Mountain.
