1964 Map of Harrisonburg

About this map

Harrisonburg and its surrounding Rockingham County landscape are captured during a period of significant mid-century growth, as evidenced by the dense cluster of educational and civic institutions like Madison College, Lucy F Simms Sch, and the Muni Bldg. The city's northern expansion is marked by several new housing developments and commercial infrastructure, including a Drive-in Theater near Melrose. The map reveals a complex religious and memorial landscape, from the Hebrew Cem and Woodbine Cem in the urban core to the expansive Eastlawn Memorial Gardens and Sunnyside Presbyterian Home on the outskirts.
