1964 Map of Stanardsville

About this map

Stanardsville serves as the focal point of this Greene County landscape, situated where the terrain begins its ascent toward the Blue Ridge. To the northwest, the boundary of Shenandoah National Park is defined by the high ridges of Saddleback Mountain and Powell Mtn, while the South River and Conway River drain the valleys below. The map documents a rural community structure through its distribution of neighborhood churches like Middle River Ch and Shiloh Ch, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds including Wallace Cem and Mt Coland Cem. Local education and infrastructure are represented by Monroe High Sch and a Compressor Station, while the rural economy is anchored at nodes such as Brills Shop and the small settlements of McMullen and Lydia. This survey includes 1977 revisions, noted in purple, which show the expansion of fence and field lines across the Piedmont foothills.
