1965 Map of Browns Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Doyles River valley anchors this mid-century view of the Blue Ridge foothills, where small communities like Browns Cove and Mountfair persist at the edge of Shenandoah National Park. The landscape is a study in transition between the protected mountainous terrain of the Blue Ridge and the agricultural valley floors. A notable archaeological and historical marker is the Civil War Gun Emplacement near Browns Gap, indicating the strategic importance of these mountain passes during previous centuries. In the lower elevations, rural life is centered around local landmarks such as Browns Cove Ch, Mt Carmel Ch, and the Sandridge Cem. The southern edge of the map shows the Charlottesville Reservoir and Camp Sugar Hollow along the Moormans River, highlighting the area's role in regional water management and recreation during the 1960s.
