About this map

The Rivanna River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor follows the water's edge near the community of Palmyra. The interior terrain is shaped by the complex drainage of Cunningham Creek, including its Middle Fork and South Fork, which wind through a series of prominent elevations like Little Mountain Hill and the Mountain Hills.

Social and educational life in the late 1960s is evidenced by several schools and religious centers, most notably the Fork Union Military Academy in the south and the Abrams High Sch near Central Sch. Rural crossroads like Central Plains, Kidds Store, and Cohasset anchor the transport network, while more specialized landmarks like a Lookout Tower and a Drive-in Theater near Weber City speak to the era's land use and recreation patterns.
