1967 Map of Milam

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The South Fork Potomac River and its upper branches carve through the highlands of the George Washington National Forest along the West Virginia and Virginia border. In the late 1960s, small settlements such as Milam and Peru served as local centers for the valley communities, while several country churches including Mt Olive Ch and Zion Ch anchored the social landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Shenandoah Mountain and Milroy Mountain, which separate the river drainage from the Sweedlin Valley. Along the eastern edge, the village of Criders sits near the German River, illustrating the pocketed nature of Appalachian settlement. This survey reveals the winding path of South Branch Potomac River and the numerous named mountain runs that supported these remote farmsteads and timberlands.
