1967 Map of Elliott Knob

About this map

North Mountain dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the high ridge of George Washington National Forest meets the developed corridors of the Deerfield Valley. The landscape is defined by its water sources and early industry, featuring the Calfpasture River and its numerous mountain drafts. Near Mt Elliott Springs, the presence of a claypit and kilns adjacent to the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks points to the region's extraction history. Local landmarks like the Ray Memorial Ch, a small cemetery, and a Landing Strip near White Rock Branch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family footprints. The summit of Elliott Knob is clearly marked with its Lookout Tower, serving as a primary navigational and fire-watch landmark overlooking the complex drainage systems of Still Run and Ramseys Draft.
