About this map

Berryville serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, straddling the state line between Virginia and West Virginia. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through this agricultural valley. Local institutions are well-documented, including the County Fairground, Johnson Williams High Sch, and several rural houses of worship such as Prosperity Ch and St Johns Ch.

A notable landmark near the Shenandoah River is the Holy Cross Monastery at Cool Spring, situated in a bend of the river. The map also captures numerous small named settlements like Jamestown, Rippon, and Summit Point, many of which developed along the rail corridors. Waterways like Bullskin Run and Long Marsh Run provide the primary drainage for the surrounding terrain, illustrating the natural geography that influenced the placement of these historic communities.
