1970 Map of Round Hill

About this map

The Blue Ridge mountains dominate this 1970 landscape, creating a physical and political divide between the Shenandoah River valley in West Virginia and the Piedmont of Virginia. To the west, the river winds through dramatic loops like Avon Bend, passing the riverside communities of Shannondale and Meyerstown. This area is marked by older rural infrastructure, including the Kabletown Sch and the Mission Tabernacle. To the east, the terrain descends toward the town of Round Hill, where the Round Hill Reservoir and Sleeter Lake manage the local watershed.
