About this map

Shenandoah National Park straddles the crest of the Blue Ridge, serving as the central focus of this mid-1960s survey. The winding path of Skyline Drive acts as a primary corridor for visitors, connecting key overlooks like Beahms Gap Overlook and Thornton Hollow Overlook. Hikers can trace the Appalachian Trail as it traverses the ridge, passing the Pass Mountain Shelter and Elkwallow Shelter.
