1947 Map of Broadway

About this map

Broadway and Timberville anchor the agricultural and industrial landscape of northern Rockingham County during the late 1940s. The Southern railroad line tracks parallel to the North Fork Shenandoah River, connecting these mill and trade centers to the wider Shenandoah Valley. West of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the George Washington National Forest, where steep ridges like Church Mountain and Cross Mountain are cut by narrow gaps and runs.
