1967 Map of Brownsburg

About this map

Brownsburg and Fairfield anchor this 1960s survey of the Virginia landscape where the Augusta and Rockbridge County line crosses the rolling hills. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Moffatts Creek, Goose Creek, and Hays Creek, which supported early rural industries such as McClung Mill and Wades Mill. The map reflects a deeply established community structure, documenting numerous local landmarks like New Providence Church, McKiwee Chapel, and the Rockbridge High School. An Old Railroad Grade and a utility Pipeline cut through the countryside near Mountain View, illustrating the evolving transportation and infrastructure needs of the mid-20th century. Notable small settlements such as Newport, Bustleburg, and Jonestown are shown with individual building footprints, providing a clear view of local settlement patterns before modern suburban expansion.
