1965 Map of Oakvale
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
East River Mountain dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, marking the rugged boundary between West Virginia and Virginia. Below the ridge, the Norfolk and Western railway corridor dictates the settlement pattern, connecting the communities of Oakvale, Kellysville, and Willowton along the East River. The map provides a detailed view of rural infrastructure during this era, including a High School and the Oakvale Fish Hatchery. Further south, the terrain transitions into the Jefferson National Forest, where the winding waters of Wolf Creek flow past remote outposts like Chapel and Boxley. For those researching local family history, several landmarks provide vital geographic anchors, from the Christian Ridge Ch and New Zion Ch in the north to the Beamer Cem nestled near the Virginia state line.
