1967 Map of New Market

About this map

The North Fork Shenandoah River winds through the heart of this valley landscape, tracing a path past established settlements like Mt Jackson, New Market, and Quicksburg. The 1960s infrastructure is clearly visible, with Interchange 68 and Interchange 67 marking the modernization of the valley corridor alongside the historic Southern railroad line. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain at Meems Bottom and along the slopes of Rudes Hill, while educational and religious anchors such as Shenandoah Valley Academy, the Triplett Institute, and numerous country churches like St Marks Ch define the community's social geography. The map also highlights industrial and recreational sites, ranging from the Quarry near the Shenandoah River to the iconic Shenandoah Caverns and the Covered Bridge north of Quicksburg.
