1965 Map of Mc Gaheysville

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the northern half of this map, serving as a primary corridor for the Norfolk and Western railway and connecting the settlements of McGaheysville, Rocky Bar, and Island Ford. To the south and east, the elevation rises sharply into the protected lands of Shenandoah National Park, where the Appalachian Trail and Skyline Drive trace the high ridges of the Blue Mountains. Genealogists will find interest in the documented cemeteries, including Mt Olivet Cem, and several named mountain shelters like Big Run Shelter and Pinefield Shelter. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous runs, such as Cub Run and Twomile Run, while specific landmarks like Lewis Peak and Loft Mountain define the high country. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by Mines located on the slopes of Rocky Mount, highlighting the local resource extraction during this mid-century period.
