1964 Map of Churchville

About this map

The Middle River drainage and the western foothills of the Blue Ridge define this landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts through the gap at Buffalo Gap. This 1964 survey, with 1978 updates, reveals a dense network of rural communities and family-named landmarks such as Trimbles Mill and Lone Fountain. The spiritual and social centers of these communities are clearly visible, with numerous houses of worship including Jerusalem Ch, Loch Willow Ch, and Smoky Row Ch.
