1966 Map of Toms Brook

About this map

The North Fork Shenandoah River carves a dramatic series of meanders through the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, creating prominent landforms like Rittenour Ridge and Seven Bends. This mid-1960s landscape shows a transition between traditional agricultural life and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of Interchange 73 on the newly developed highway corridor. Along the eastern edge, Three Top Mountain and Little Fort Valley provide a stark relief to the settled valley floor, where communities like Toms Brook and Maurertown are centered on the Southern railroad line.
