1966 Map of Stephenson

About this map

Opequon Creek meanders deeply through the limestone terrain of the Shenandoah Valley, carving a winding path that defines the border between Frederick and Clarke Counties. This mid-1960s survey captures a landscape of established rural settlements and emerging residential developments like Shenandoah Hills and Greenwood Heights. The area is anchored by the community of Stephenson near the Conrail line, while historic institutional sites like the Holy Trinity Mission Seminary and several country churches point to the region's long-standing social fabric. Transportation routes such as the CSX railroad and Senseny Road follow the natural contours of the land, connecting older points of interest like Burnt Factory and Wadesville. Geologists and historians will note the Shale Pit and various springs, including Horsepen Spring, which highlight the intersection of natural resources and local industry.
