1994 Map of Tenth Legion

About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates this mid-1990s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between the western agricultural valley and the George Washington National Forest. The valley floor is marked by a network of historic rural settlements like Tenth Legion, Mauzy, and Athlone, connected by roads tracing the path of Smith Creek. The area’s spiritual and communal roots are visible in the high density of country churches, including Bethlehem Ch and St Pauls Ch. Of particular note is the tourist and industrial history shown through Endless Caverns and the legacy of the regional iron industry at Catherine Furnace. A historic Covered Bridge spans a branch of the creek, while the Shenandoah River South Fork winds through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, illustrating the enduring relationship between the region's hydrology and its settlement patterns.
