1939 Map of Front Royal
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
Front Royal and its surrounding mountain gaps are documented here just as the landscape was undergoing a massive shift from private farmland to federal conservation and military use. The map reveals the early footprint of Shenandoah National Park, featuring the newly constructed Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail winding through the Blue Ridge. To the south of the town center, the sprawling U S Army Remount Reservation occupies a significant portion of the foothills, while the Shenandoah Homesteads Project Flint Hill Unit indicates Depression-era resettlement efforts.
