About this map

Middlebrook and the surrounding agricultural valleys of Augusta County are shown here in a detailed mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its deep spiritual and community roots, evidenced by numerous country congregations such as Holy Trinity Ch, St Johns Ch, and Mt Tabor Ch. This area serves as a significant drainage basin where Middle River and Back Creek flow through the valley floor, overlooked by the prominent peak of Sugarloaf.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the southeastern corner, where the Norfolk and Western railway corridor passes through Greenville. A remnant of earlier transit exists in the form of an Old Railroad Grade near Christians Creek. For genealogists, the inclusion of local burial grounds like Glebe Cem and Oak Hill Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing family ties in this part of the Shenandoah Valley.
