About this map

Brandywine and its surrounding mountain terrain are documented here at the end of the 1960s, showing the intersection of local community life and federal land management. Near the South Fork Potomac River, local landmarks include Cedar Grove Ch, Martin Luther Ch, and a Cem at Pine Hill. The map highlights the development of the Brandywine Recreation Area and Brandywine Lake, which are supported by water control structures like Dam No 27 and Dam No 13 on Hawes Run.

Extending into the George Washington National Forest, the landscape is defined by the high peaks of Shenandoah Mountain, including High Knob (Lookout Tower) and Flagpole Knob. This survey captures a network of footpaths and fire roads, such as the Slate Springs Trail and Maple Spring Trail, providing a clear view of the ridge-and-valley topography along the West Virginia and Virginia border prior to modern digital mapping.
