USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Blue Ridge terrain and the established boundaries of Shenandoah National Park dominate this mid-century landscape, where high-elevation landmarks like Swift Run Gap and Smith Roach Gap serve as critical passage points. The winding path of Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail trace the mountain crests, while the eastern slopes reveal a network of small mountain communities and farmsteads. Settlement patterns are clustered in the hollows and along the river valleys, with centers of local life at Bacon Hollow and Dyke.
