1969 Map of Palo Alto

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sugar Grove Ridge and Shenandoah Mountain dominate this late-1960s landscape, which spans the high border country between West Virginia and Virginia. The settlement of Palo Alto sits in the shadows of Simmons Mtn and Buffalo Knob, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its steep hollows and ridges. Several community landmarks appear, including Wilfong Ch near the Potomac River, and Crummett Ch located further west along Crummett Run. The topography is marked by a complex drainage system where Brushy Fork and Flesher Run carve through the terrain. Evidence of water management for the time is visible through a series of engineered structures such as Dam No 36 and Dam No 18 on Stony Run, while the expansive George Washington National Forest covers much of the southeastern portion of the map, illustrating the intersection of private homesteads and federal land.
