1977 Map of Elkton East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the western edge of this 1970s orthophotoquad, defining a landscape where valley agriculture meets the steep slopes of the Blue Ridge. This photographic record, produced by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, documents the transition from the river lowlands to the high ridges followed by Skyline Drive. Settlements like Elkton and Shenandoah anchor the transport corridors, while smaller hamlets such as Furnace and Jollett sit at the base of the mountain hollows. The intricate network of drainage, including Naked Creek, Dry Run, and Elk Run, illustrates how the terrain dictated the placement of early homesteads and road networks in Rockingham County. The imagery provides a clear view of land-use patterns, showing the patchwork of fields along Hawksbill Cr and Comertown before late-century development.
