1947 Map of Parnassus

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The striking limestone formations of Natural Chimneys stand as a central landmark in this 1940s survey of the Glade Valley region. Located where Augusta County meets Rockingham County, the landscape transition from the agricultural lowlands of Mt Solon and Parnassus to the high ridges of Shenandoah Mountain is clearly visible. The network of rural life is well-documented, showing small crossroads communities like Sangerville, Ottobine, and Centerville connected by a web of schools and churches such as Fulton Sch and Union Ch. To the west, the terrain becomes increasingly steep at North River Gap, where the North River emerges from the mountains near recreational sites like Hone Quarry Picnic Grounds and Camp May Flather (Girl Scouts). These details provide a clear view of the mid-century valley economy, centered on river drainage and gap-based transportation routes.
