About this map

Berryville serves as the central hub of this survey, where the Norfolk and Western railway corridor meets the commercial and residential core of Clarke County. The map documents a established landscape of the late 1960s, featuring institutional anchors such as Johnson-Williams High Sch and the County High Sch. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the Shenandoah River, passing the secluded Holy Cross Monastery near Wickliffe.

Agricultural patterns are defined by a network of drainage runs, including Long Marsh Run and Buck Marsh Run, which dictated the placement of historic settlements like Rippon and Gaylord. Genealogists will find significant detail in the various burial grounds and local houses of worship, from the Milton Valley Cem to rural congregations at Marvin Chapel and Prosperity Ch. The border between West Virginia and Virginia cuts across the northern third, bisecting the shared geography of these Shenandoah Valley communities.
