1964 Map of Churchville

About this map

Middle River and its winding tributaries, including Jennings Branch and Whisky Creek, define the rolling topography of this Augusta County landscape. Centered on the village of Churchville, the map captures a rural community organized around water crossings and long-standing local landmarks like Loch Willow Cem and Green Hill Cem. The western edge is dominated by the steep ascent of Little North Mountain within the George Washington National Forest, where Mc Kittricks Ridge rises sharply above the valley floor. Settlement patterns follow the lowlands, with small communities such as Lone Fountain and Swoope connected by the tracks of the Chesapeake And Ohio railroad. The presence of features like Trimbles Mill, a Quarry, and the High School near Buffalo Gap illustrates a local economy rooted in the intersection of natural resources, transport, and community infrastructure during the mid-1960s.
