1967 Map of Cow Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Shenandoah Mountain forms the backbone of this high-elevation landscape within the George Washington National Forest, marking the interstate boundary between Rockingham County, Virginia, and Pendleton County, West Virginia. In the late 1960s, this area remained largely defined by its network of watersheds and steep ridges, with a prominent Lookout Tower standing sentinel at Cow Knob. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Shaver River and Dry River collecting runoff from numerous hollows like Snake Hollow and Clay Lick Hollow. This survey provides a precise record of the mid-century infrastructure used for forest management and backcountry access, including the Bethel Trail and several specialized paths such as the Rader Jeep Trail. Named landmarks like Fulk Mtn, Kretchie Mtn, and Hall Spring offer specific points of reference for those studying the regional geography and land use history of the Alleghany highlands.
