1944 Map of Parnassus

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The dramatic limestone formations of Natural Chimneys stand as a central landmark in this 1944 survey of the Shenandoah Valley's western edge. While the eastern half of the map is defined by a dense network of farming communities like Mt Solon, Sangerville, and Centerville, the west rises sharply into the high ridges of the George Washington National Forest. This transition is anchored by the North River, which flows past recreation sites including Camp May Flather (Girl Scouts) and the North River Camp.
