Shenandoah National Forest dominates this 1921 survey of the high ridges straddling the border of Hardy County and Shenandoah County. The landscape is defined by the parallel elevations of Long Mountain, Paddy Mountain, and North Mountain, where narrow hollows like Thorny Bottom and Brushy Hollow provided the only viable routes for local transit. The sparse settlement pattern of the era is evident in the presence of the Heishman School and Mt Vernon Church, serving the small community near Rockland.
