1966 Map of Bentonville

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River snakes through this 1960s landscape, defining the transition between the high ridges of Shenandoah National Park and the rugged slopes of the George Washington National Forest. Along the Norfolk and Western rail corridor, small rural communities like Bentonville, Limeton, and Compton provide centers for local life. The map details the proximity of these settlements to the river's winding bends, including historically significant crossing points such as McCoys Ford.
