1961 Map of Sperryville

About this map

Shenandoah National Park dominates the northwestern corner of this mid-century survey, where the Devils Stairs and Jenkins Mountain rise above the headwaters of the Thornton River. The landscape transitions from the protected wilderness of the Blue Ridge into the agricultural valleys of Rappahannock and Culpeper counties. Settlements like Washington and Sperryville serve as central hubs for a network of rural communities, including Woodville, Boston, and Massies Corner.
