1964 Map of Mount Sidney

About this map

Mount Sidney and Mount Crawford anchor this mid-1960s study of the Shenandoah Valley, where the North River meanders across the Rockingham and Augusta county line. The landscape is defined by its agrarian roots and aviation development, featuring both the Bridgewater Air Park and the Shenandoah Valley Airport. The Chesapeake Western railroad follows the river valley, connecting smaller communities like Burketown and Weyers Cave. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including St Michaels Ch, Friedens Ch, and family-named burial sites such as Sellers Cem and Bells Cem. The map captures the region before extensive modern development, showing the traditional crossroads and river bends that have long shaped this part of Virginia.
