1967 Map of Front Royal

About this map

The Shenandoah River and its two major forks dictate the geography of this northern Virginia region, where the North Fork and South Fork converge near Riverton. The town of Front Royal serves as the focal point, showing an established mid-century grid featuring the Courthouse, Townhall, and the nearby Prospect Hill Cem. Significant industrial footprints are visible at Viscose City and the Industrial Waste Ponds, while the educational landscape is represented by the Randolph Macon Military Academy and Mosby Academy. The map reveals a transition from the developing town center to the northern reaches of Shenandoah National Park and the U.S. Dept of Agriculture Research Center. Rail lines from the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads connect the quarries and residential pockets of Warren Park and Dungadin Heights to the broader regional economy.
