1968 Map of Tungsten

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The John H Kerr Reservoir dominates the landscape along the Virginia-North Carolina border, where the flooded Roanoke River valley creates an intricate shoreline of peninsulas like Panhandle and Ivy Hill. This 1960s survey illustrates a specialized industrial landscape at Tungsten, where a Shaft, Mine, and Tailings Pond sit near the Mecklenburg and Granville county line. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the Island Creek Dam and its associated Pumping Sta, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the Roanoke basin into a series of managed reservoirs and public recreation areas like Hibernia Public Use Area. Local heritage is anchored by rural landmarks such as Island Hill Ch and Antioch Ch, alongside an Old Railroad Grade that traces a former transportation corridor through the hills near Woodworth.
