1965 Map of Waiteville

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Waiteville sits in the high mountain valley of Potts Creek, a central community in this 1965 survey along the Virginia and West Virginia border. The landscape is defined by the heavy ridges of Peters Mountain and Potts Mountain, which corridor the early transportation routes through the Jefferson National Forest. This era shows the transition of mountain infrastructure, specifically an Old Railroad Grade running through Ray Siding, signaling the legacy of timber or mineral extraction in the steep hollows. Small settlements like Maggie and Captain mark the eastern and southern reaches of the quadrangle, connected by winding creek-side roads and trails. For those tracking outdoor history, the Appalachian Trail is documented as it traverses the high ground near Lone Pine Peak, while local sites like New Zion Union Ch and Taylor Cem provide essential anchor points for family history and genealogy.
