1965 Map of Mc Gaheysville

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the valley floor, serving as a primary corridor for the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake & Ohio RR. The village of McGaheysville and nearby Mt Olivet Cem anchor the northwestern corner, while the settlements of Island Ford, Rocky Bar, and Berrytown mark the transition from agricultural bottomlands to the steep rises of the Blue Ridge. To the east, the landscape changes abruptly as it enters Shenandoah National Park, where the high-altitude route of Skyline Drive traces the ridgeline. This section of the park is defined by numerous overlooks, such as the Loft Mountain Overlook and Big Run Overlook, which offer vantage points over deep drainages like Eppert Hollow and Big Run. For historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of remote backcountry infrastructure including Big Run Shelter, the Doyles River Cabin, and long-standing trails like the Appalachian Trail and Rocky Mount Trail.
