1967 Map of Rawley Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Rawley Springs is situated at the base of the steep ridge systems that define the western edge of Rockingham County. The landscape is dominated by the George Washington National Forest, where the waters of the Dry River meet the Skidmore Fork. This survey captures the region just before significant modernization, documenting the intricate network of fire roads and trails like Dictum Ridge Road and Skidmore Fork Road that navigate the high gaps. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks such as the Riven Rock Picnic Area and the Harrisonburg Reservoir, which reflect the early development of regional water management and recreational infrastructure. Genealogists will find the Oak Grove Cem near Patterson Creek at the map's eastern edge. The topography here is uniquely characterized by named high points like Bald Knob and Clines Hacking, showing the traditional place names used by foresters and early residents of the Appalachian interior.
