1943 Map of Orkney Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Orkney Springs sits at the foot of the Great North Mountain ridgeline, marking a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of the Appalachians during the 1940s. The map illustrates the rural infrastructure of Hardy County and Rockingham County, where narrow valleys are filled with a dense network of one-room schoolhouses like Snyder Springs School, Shoemaker School, and Bergton School. The presence of the Lumber RR along the South Fork South Branch Potomac River in the northwest corner highlights the timber industry's reach into these highlands.
