1964 Map of Harrisonburg

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Harrisonburg and its surrounding Rockingham County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Southern and Chesapeake Western railroads against the dramatic rising slopes of Massanutten Mountain. This era captures the city during a period of mid-century expansion, evidenced by the presence of Madison College and institutional growth near the downtown core, including the Muni Bldg and Hospital. The survey meticulously records local infrastructure, from the Drive-in Theater near Melrose to the Massanutten Caverns east of Keezletown. Significant genealogical data is preserved through numerous burial grounds like Woodbine Cem and the Hebrew Cem, alongside suburban developments such as Spotswood Country Club. To the south, Lake Shenandoah and the Lakeview Golf Course indicate the shift toward recreational land use as the city's influence reached toward Penn Laird and Peales Crossroads.
