1967 Map of Sherando
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Sherando and the surrounding heights of the Blue Ridge define this landscape, where the George Washington National Forest meets the valley of the Rockfish River. This 1967 survey highlights the area's transition from historic industry to mid-century recreation, featuring the Mount Terry Furnace site alongside modern developments like the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail. Along the mountain slopes, several scenic overlooks such as Ravens Roost Overlook and Three Ridges Overlook offer vistas of the complex terrain, which includes landmarks like The Rocks and Humpback Mtn. Local heritage is anchored by community landmarks such as Sherando Ch, Mountain View Ch, and the Diamond Hill Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed as the North Fork and Back Creek navigate the ridges of Torry Mtn and Potatopatch Mountain.
