1967 Map of Tenth Legion

About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its steep ridges and hollows like Lokey Hollow and Koontz Hollow carved by runs that feed the South Fork Shenandoah River. The valley floor to the west is a mosaic of small farming settlements and crossroads, including Tenth Legion and Mauzy, where family life centered around churches such as Bethlehem Ch and Concord Ch. The survey captures the mid-century infrastructure of the Shenandoah Valley, featuring the N & W Ry corridor and a notable Covered Bridge crossing Smith Creek. Beneath the surface of Turkey Ridge, the presence of Endless Caverns points to the region's subterranean geology, while the George Washington National Forest preserves the timbered heights above the settled valley floor.
