1967 Map of Craigsville

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the industrial and social life of this Shenandoah Valley landscape, cutting through the gap between North Mountain and Brown Ridge. At the town of Craigsville, the rail line serves as a central artery for local industry, evidenced by the multiple quarries and the proximity of Fordwick. This mid-century survey reflects a mix of traditional rural life and modern leisure, featuring a drive-in theater near the tracks while maintaining a network of old country roads and fords across the Great Calfpasture River.
