1965 Map of Old Rag Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Shenandoah National Park and its interface with the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes around Old Rag Mountain and the deep incisions of Whiteoak Canyon and Berry Hollow. While much of the area is dedicated to the park, several small settlements and community landmarks persist along the eastern boundary. The map captures the quiet isolation of Corbin Cabin tucked beneath Robertson Mountain, and the clustered rural life at Nethers and Etlan, where Bethlehem Church and Etlan Church served local residents. High-altitude infrastructure is visible along the winding Skyline Drive, including the Pinnacle Ranger Station and several scenic overlooks like Stony Man Overlook. The transition from the high ridges of the Appalachian Trail down to the agricultural flats of the Robinson River valley provides a clear view of the region's diverse terrain and settlement patterns.
