1967 Map of Front Royal

About this map

Front Royal serves as the focal point of this Virginia survey, situated at the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork Shenandoah Rivers. The town's industrial and institutional footprint is evident through landmarks like Viscose City, the Randolph Macon Military Academy, and the Courthouse at the center of the grid. Transportation networks converge here, with the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads navigating the river bends near Riverton Junction. To the south, the landscape transitions into the protected slopes of Shenandoah National Park, marked by the winding Skyline Drive and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Local genealogy is well-represented by rural sites like The Pine Hills Community Church and the large Prospect Hill Cemetery, while unique geological features like the Skyline Caverns Entrance and the Valley of Retreat define the southern terrain.
