1939 Map of Front Royal

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Front Royal serves as the hub of this 1930s landscape, positioned at the convergence of the North Fork and South Fork Shenandoah River. The map captures a significant period of transformation for the Blue Ridge region, documenting the early development of Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail alongside the establishment of the Shenandoah Homesteads Project. While the river valley supports industrial sites like the Potomac-Edison Dam and the residential tracts of Viscose City and Royal Village, the surrounding uplands remain dotted with traditional community centers.
