1935 Map of Whitetop Mountain

About this map

Mt Rogers and Whitetop Mtn anchor this high-altitude landscape of Southwest Virginia as it was surveyed in the mid-1930s. The topography is dominated by the sprawling Unaka National Forest, where the Appalachian Trail winds through deep gaps and along the ridgelines of Iron Mountain and Grave Mountain. This era shows the local infrastructure of the Blue Ridge highlands before extensive modern development, with the Jeb Stuart Highway providing one of the few primary routes through the mountains near Barton Gap.
