About this map

Deerfield sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, positioned where the valley floor meets the high ridges of the George Washington National Forest. The landscape is defined by the Calepasture River and a network of drafts and hollows, such as Broadway Branch and Tizzle Branch, which carve through the massive forms of Shenandoah Mountain and Walker Mountain. This map documents a quiet rural pocket of Augusta County, marked by small settlements like Little Baltimore and Fridley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate community landmarks including the Rocky Spring Ch and the Mt Mary Cem. The presence of the Radio Tower (WABH) and a local Gravel Pit near the river indicates the modest infrastructure supporting the valley during this era. A complex system of trails and jeep tracks, like those ascending The Bump and Gwin Mountain, reflects the area's continued reliance on the forest for both industry and access.
