1959 Map of Zionville

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Tennessee North Carolina border zig-zags across this high-country landscape, where the ridges of Hessian Ridge and Sugartree Ridge define the local topography. In the late 1950s, the rural life of this borderland was anchored by small crossroads like Zionville and Pottertown, the latter serving as a post office for the surrounding hollows. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the North Fork New River and Meat Camp Creek, with family-named burial grounds like Greer Cem and Maine Cem testifying to the area's deep genealogical roots. Industry is represented by the Winebarger Mill, while local education and faith are centered at the Green Valley Sch and numerous country chapels such as Thomas Chapel and Friendship Church. Fine red dashed lines indicate historical fence and field lines, providing a rare look at mid-century agricultural land use across these steep slopes.
