1969 Map of Millboro

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts a critical path through this mountain landscape, requiring significant engineering feats such as the Millboro Tunnel and Lick Run Tunnel to navigate the steep terrain of Mill Mountain. In the late 1960s, the village of Millboro remains a focal point near the High Sch, while the nearby Millboro Springs serves as a northern gateway. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the George Washington National Forest and the Goshen Wildlife Management Area, highlighting a region transitioning from early industrial activity to conservation and recreation. Notable historical sites include the Rockbridge Alum Springs and Camp Alkulana, reflecting the area's legacy as a destination for mineral springs and mountain retreats. Small settlements like California and Goshen dot the valleys where Brattons Run and the Calfpasture River converge.
