1967 Map of Broadway

About this map

The North Fork Shenandoah River defines the northern edge of this Rockingham County landscape, where the town of Broadway serves as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural valley. The area is characterized by a high density of rural institutions, including historic places of worship like Trissel Ch, Zion Ch, and Pine Grove Ch, alongside local centers of education such as Myers Sch. Transport and industry are marked by the path of the Southern railroad and several natural resources, including a large Quarry and the unique geological feature of Melrose Caverns. Notable local landmarks like the State Prison Camp No 8 and Round Hill appear alongside established crossroads such as Lacey Spring and Linville. The map also details smaller communities like Edom and Daphna, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns of the Shenandoah Valley before late-century suburban expansion.
