1965 Map of Glengary

About this map

Third Hill Mountain and Warm Springs Ridge dominate this section of the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province, forming a rugged corridor of parallel peaks and valleys along the West Virginia and Virginia border. In the mid-1960s, this landscape was defined by its secluded settlements and the expansive Sleepy Creek Public Hunting and Fishing Area. Small rural communities like Shanghai, Glengary, and Ganotown are connected by winding roads and focused around local institutions such as Mt Carmel Ch and the Back Creek Valley Sch.
