1967 Map of Stanley

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River meanders through Page Valley on this 1960s topographic record, updated for the 1980s. This corridor serves as a vital transportation and utility artery, featuring the Norfolk and Western railroad and an extensive pipeline running parallel to the water. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the level valley floor and the wooded heights of Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest. Settlement is concentrated in towns like Stanley and Shenandoah, with smaller rural communities such as Alma and Ingham supporting the agrarian and industrial life of Page County. Notable landmarks include the Powerplant on the riverbank, the County High Sch, and the river access at Grove Hill Landing. Numerous local houses of worship, including St Lukes Ch and St Pauls Ch, anchor the small rural neighborhoods throughout the foothills.
