1968 Map of Tungsten

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The borderlands of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and Vance County, North Carolina, are defined here by the intricate shoreline of the John H Kerr Reservoir. In the late 1960s, the landscape centered on industrial extraction and small rural congregations. The settlement of Tungsten is a focal point, supported by an adjacent Mine, Quarry, and a Tailings Pond, indicating the specialized mining operations that gave the town its name. An Old Railroad Grade and an Air Shaft further mark the area's subterranean history.
