1891 Map of Wilkesboro
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Wilkesboro serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century reconnaissance of the upper Yadkin River valley. The map reveals a mountain economy rooted in dispersed settlements and essential river crossings, most notably the Toll Bridge connecting the county seat to the northern reaches of the Reddies River. Further west, the landscape rises into the Blue Ridge and Ashe County, where the historic copper mining site at Ore Knob and the town of Jefferson are positioned along the North Fork New River.
