1964 Map of Fort Defiance

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Augusta Military Academy stands at the heart of this Shenandoah Valley landscape, situated near the venerable Augusta Stone Ch in Fort Defiance. The drainage patterns of the Middle River and Christians Creek define the local topography, carving paths through the rolling hills of Augusta County. Transport and industry in the mid-1960s are evidenced by the Chesapeake Western railroad and the presence of a Drive-in Theater near Verona. Rural community life is anchored by numerous country churches and schools, such as Hildebrand Ch and the Oak Grove Sch. The map reveals a transition into the late 1970s with purple revisions that detail changing land use, including a Gravel Pit near Round Hill and expansion in residential settlements like New Hope and Hermitage.
