About this map

Stokesville and the surrounding reaches of the George Washington National Forest define this 1967 survey of Augusta County. The landscape is marked by the convergence of the North River and Little River, where local recreation sites like Todd Lake Recreation Area and the North River Campground emphasize the region's mid-century shift toward public forest use. At Staunton Dam, an Aqueduct Tunnel is visible, cutting through the eastern flank of Lookout Mountain to manage water resources for the valley below.

Genealogists and local historians can trace older settlement patterns at Stribling Springs, Whites Store, and Stover, alongside several rural houses of worship including Paynes Chapel and Elk Run Ch. The map provides detailed placement for many family-named features such as Shaffer Hol and Stoutameyer Hollow, illustrating the deeply carved topography of North Mountain and Hankey Mtn during the late 1960s.
