1964 Map of Waynesboro East

About this map

The Blue Ridge mountains dominate this mid-century portrait of the boundary between Augusta, Albemarle, and Nelson counties. Steep ridgelines are traversed by the winding Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Pkwy, while the Appalachian Trail follows the high ground through Shenandoah National Park. This survey illustrates the vital transportation corridors carved through the gaps, most notably at Rockfish Gap, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad utilizes the Blue Ridge Tunnel and Brookville Tunnel to transition between the Shenandoah and Piedmont regions.
