1965 Map of Luray

About this map

Luray serves as the focal point of this Page County survey, situated in the fertile valley between Massanutten Mountain and the western slopes of Shenandoah National Park. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Shenandoah River and the commercial influence of the Norfolk and Western railroad, which parallels the river and bisects the town. Beyond the famed Luray Caverns, the map reveals a network of rural life, featuring numerous country churches like Fletcher Chapel and Beahms Chapel. High-clearance routes such as the Fire Road and Jeremys Run Trail offer a detailed look at the steep terrain of Pine Mountain and Kibler Knob, while the valley floor is dotted with small settlements like Big Spring and Springfield.
