1947 Map of Strasburg

About this map

Strasburg and the dramatic meanders of the North Fork Shenandoah River dominate this landscape during the mid-1940s. The map captures the complex topography of Massanutten Mountain, where Passage Creek flows through the secluded Fort Valley, connecting small settlements like Seven Fountains and Detrick. This era shows the convergence of the Southern Railway and the Norfolk and Western Railway, marking the region's importance as a transportation corridor between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies.
