1965 Map of Browns Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Shenandoah National Park boundary winds through the high terrain of the Blue Ridge in this mid-1960s survey of the Albemarle and Rockingham county line. The landscape is defined by the steep descent from the Skyline Drive into the fertile lowlands of Browns Cove and the Doyles River valley. Historic community life is centered around the Browns Cove Ch, Mt Carmel Ch, and the Sandridge Cem. A notable piece of military history is preserved near Browns Gap at the Civil War Gun Emplacement, marking the strategic importance of these mountain passes. In the south, the Charlottesville Reservoir sits at the confluence where Sugar Hollow meets the North Fork Moormans River, illustrating the region's role in local water management and recreation during this era.
