1967 Map of Brownsburg

About this map

Hays Creek and Moffatts Creek carve through the landscape of the Shenandoah Valley, defining a region where agricultural industry and early settlements concentrated along reliable water power. This mid-century survey captures the community of Brownsburg and surrounding rural hubs like Fairfield and Jonestown before significant modern development altered the local character. The map is particularly rich in local genealogy markers, showing the locations of several houses of worship and burial grounds, including New Providence Ch and the McElwee Chapel Cem. Industrial heritage is preserved through the labeling of Wades Mill and McClung Mill, which served the local farming economy. An old railroad grade and an old RR grade trace former transportation corridors through the valley floor, while a prominent Pipeline indicates the arrival of modern infrastructure during this era of Commonwealth development overseen by James L. Calver.
