About this map

Blue Ridge terrain and the strategic passage of Manassas Gap define this portion of Warren County during the mid-1960s. The Southern railway and state roads parallel Manassas Run, connecting the settlements of Linden, Belle Meade, and Markham along a vital east-west corridor. To the north, the Shenandoah River winds past Shenandoah Farms and Howellsville, where local landmarks like the Morgan Ford and Aspen Hill Airstrip reflect the varied uses of the riverfront flats.

Mountainous conservation and recreation areas occupy the eastern heights, notably the G Richard Thompson State Wildlife Management Area and the winding Appalachian Trail. High points such as Wildcat Knob and High Knob overlook deep hollows and rural outposts like Harrell Corner. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of Mt Paran Ch and numerous small family or community Cem plots throughout the valleys offers a clear look at the area's rural social fabric before late-century development intensified.
