1994 Map of Old Rag Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Old Rag Mountain dominates this mid-1990s landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding highlands of the Shenandoah National Park. The survey reflects a region defined by high-elevation wilderness and the historical traces of mountain life, notably the Corbin Cabin and the network of trails like the Nicholson Hollow Trail and Appalachian Trail. In the valleys below the Blue Ridge, small rural communities such as Nethers and Etlan persist along the winding courses of the Hughes River and Robinson River. Local genealogy and social history are centered on the Bethlehem Ch and Etlan Ch, alongside scattered family burial grounds. The map provides a clear look at the infrastructure of forest management through the Pinnacle Ranger Station and various shelters like Shaver Hollow Shelter, mapping the transition from the protected peaks of Stony Man to the agricultural reaches of eastern Madison County.
