1968 Map of Berryville

About this map

Berryville serves as the focal point of this northern Shenandoah Valley landscape, situated at the intersection of critical transit corridors including the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. The 1968 survey details a region deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous community landmarks like the County High School, Cooley School, and Johnson-Williams High School. To the east, the Shenandoah River flows past the Holy Cross Monastery and the golf course, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle cross into West Virginia near Summit Point. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Bullskin Run, Marsh Run, and Dog Run, which dictated the placement of historic settlements like Rippon, Gaylord, and Wickliffe. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Green Hill Cemetery, Milton Valley Cemetery, and Prosperity Cemetery.
