1965 Map of Woodlawn

About this map

Crooked Creek winds through the heart of this Carroll County landscape, creating a complex drainage network that includes the East Fork and the West Fork. During the mid-1960s, the community of Woodlawn served as a central hub, anchored by the Woodlawn Schools and nearby services like Browns Store. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Walker Knob and Pike Knob, while the southern reaches of the map climb toward the Blue Ridge at Pipers Gap. This survey documents a deeply rooted rural society, evidenced by the high density of country churches and schools such as Mt Lebanon Ch, Cranberry Ch, and Oakland Sch. Industrial history is represented by Gardner Mills on Little Reed Island Creek, while modern recreation appears at the Gay Hills Country Club near Kennedys Lake.
