About this map

The Shenandoah River flows through the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the Cool Spring park area and the Holy Cross Monastery sit near the riverbank. This 1960s survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures a region defined by established agricultural tracts and a network of small, scattered communities like Jamestown, Rippon, and Wickliffe. The town of Berryville serves as a primary hub, showing concentrated residential development around the County Fairground and educational centers like Johnson-Williams High Sch.

Tracing the border between Jefferson and Clarke Counties and the state line between West Virginia and Virginia, the map reveals a heavy reliance on rail transport via the Baltimore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous rural houses of worship such as Prosperity Ch and Marvin Chapel, alongside family and community burial grounds including Green Hill Cem and Milton Valley Cem.
