1959 Map of Whitetop Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Mt Rogers and the surrounding peaks of the Jefferson National Forest dominate this landscape during a period of high-altitude mapping in southwest Virginia. This 1959 field examination captures the high ridges of Balsam Mountain and Iron Mountain, where the Appalachian Trail winds across the Tennessee Valley Divide. The map documents a rural mountain society organized around small churches and family burial grounds, such as Rowland Creek Church and Parker Chapel.
