1962 Map of Eagle Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
James River and Craig Creek dominate this landscape, meeting at the settlement of Eagle Rock where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor follows the winding riverbanks. The 1960s terrain is heavily defined by the borders of the George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest, which enclose high ridges like Rathole Mountain and Crawford Mountain. Local life is anchored by small communities and rural congregations, including Glen Wilton, Gala, and Locust Bottom. Genealogists may find interest in landmarks such as Haden Cem, Galatia Ch, and the Rising Mt Zion Ch. The presence of a Quarry near Eagle Rock and a Pumping Sta at Gala suggests the local industrial activities of the era, while the isolated Daggers Springs indicates the historical footprint of earlier settlements tucked into the valley folds of Sheets Mtn.
