1940 Map of Orkney Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Orkney Springs serves as a prominent mountain resort hub along the eastern edge of the state line, where the headwaters of Stony Creek descend from North Mountain. The landscape of Hardy County and Rockingham County is defined by the steep parallel ridges of Shenandoah Mountain and Lost River Mountain, which channel the Lost River and the South Branch Potomac River. Settlement follows these narrow valley corridors, marked by a dense network of country institutions such as the Jenkins Chapel, Morningstar Church, and numerous rural schoolhouses like the Snyder Springs School and Topsy School.
