1966 Map of Toms Brook

About this map

The dramatic Seven Bends of the North Fork Shenandoah River dominate this mid-century portrait of the Shenandoah Valley, where the river carves deep loops between Rhodes Ridge and Rittenour Ridge. Along the valley floor, the Southern railway and U.S. Route 11 link a string of established communities including Toms Brook, Maurertown, and Fishers Hill. This survey captures the rural landscape before major modern expansion, preserving the locations of local landmarks like the County Home and several historic congregations such as Mt Hebron Ch and St Johns Ch.
