1967 Map of Sherando
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Blue Ridge mountains dominate this 1967 survey, where the Augusta and Nelson county lines follow the high ridges. This landscape is a corridor of transit and conservation, bisected by the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail. Along the mountain flanks, historical industrial sites like the Mount Torry Furnace sit near Back Creek, hinting at the region's iron-working past. The settlement of Sherando serves as a northern gateway, while Wintergreen and Beech Grove occupy the lower elevations near the Rockfish River and its forks. Numerous overlooks, including Ravens Roost Overlook and Greenstone Overlook, highlight the era's focus on recreational access to the George Washington National Forest. Local heritage is preserved in sites like Mountain View Ch, Rockfish Ch, and several family cemeteries such as Diamond Hill Cem.
