1967 Map of Chester Gap

About this map

Shenandoah National Park dominates this mid-century landscape, bisected by the high-elevation Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail. The terrain is defined by prominent gaps and peaks, including Jenkins Gap, Compton Peak, and the massive Mount Marshall. Along the western slopes, the settlement of Browntown sits near Browntown Ch and Boyds Mill, where the topography transitions from the steep Blue Ridge into the valleys of Gooney Run and Smith Creek.
