About this map

The headwaters of the Middle River and the South River define the undulating landscape of Augusta County in the mid-1960s. The village of Middlebrook sits as a central crossroads, anchored by the Holy Trinity Ch and providing a gateway to the numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations that dot the hillsides. The mapping reflects a stable agricultural community where fine red dashed lines capture contemporary fence and field divisions, visible from aerial photography taken in 1963.

Transportation corridors are in a state of transition, with the N & W Railroad carving through the terrain near the Quarry and Christians Creek. Near Greenville, evidence of modern infrastructure emerges as the map notes a 3-lane grade under construction. Local education and faith are central to the social fabric here, from the prominent Riverheads High Sch to quiet hilltop sites like Arbor Hill and the Glebe Cem.
