About this map

Carter Hall and the historic Greenway Court estate anchor this mid-1960s landscape of Clarke County. The area is defined by its deep colonial and agricultural roots, centered around the junction of the Norfolk and Western railroad and local trade routes. Near Millwood, the map shows the winding Shenandoah River as it passes Hardin Island and Robinson Crusoe Island, overlooked by the prominent Lovers Leap.

Evidence of the region's academic and social life appears through the Blandy Experimental Farm (Univ of Virginia) and the Powhatan Sch. Small settlements like White Post, Boyce, and Briggs are interconnected by a network of rural roads and field lines, while landmark structures such as Saratoga and the Old Chapel reflect the established character of the Shenandoah Valley before significant modern development altered these rural corridors.
