1965 Map of Elkton West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates the western half of this Rockingham County landscape, its parallel ridges like First Mountain and Second Mountain defining the local topography. In the lowlands, the South Fork Shenandoah River winds past the community of Elkton, where the intersection of the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Western railways shaped the local economy. The survey documents several rural crossroads including Greenwood, East Point, and Solsburg, each with its own local landmarks like Bethel Ch or the East Point Cem. This mid-century view captures the transition from the wilderness of the George Washington National Forest to the managed agricultural and industrial tracts near Shenandoah, including a Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal sites that reflect the infrastructure of the era.
