1969 Map of Monterey

About this map

Monterey serves as the focal point of this Highland County landscape, situated at the base of Monterey Mountain where the headwaters of the South Branch Potomac River begin their northern descent. The topography is dominated by parallel ridges including Lantz Mountain and Jack Mountain, which dictate the linear settlement patterns of communities like Blue Grass and New Hampden. This 1960s perspective captures a distinct rural infrastructure, from the Highland High School and Hannah Airfield near the town center to the Fish Hatchery and Drive-in Theater farther north along the Potomac valley.
