About this map

Waynesboro serves as the industrial and urban hub of this Valley region in the mid-1970s, where the South River winds past heavy industry and the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. The map reveals a dense network of civic and educational institutions, including the Woodrow Wilson Educational Center and several neighborhood schools like Wayne Hills Sch and Berkeley Glenn Sch.

Outside the city limits, the landscape transitions to the rural crossroads of Fishersville and Ladd. Numerous country churches, such as Tinkling Spring Ch and Sherlynd Ch, anchor these smaller communities. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the George Washington National Forest, where landmarks like Miller Knob and Stony Ridge overlook the valley floor. The map also documents the era's local infrastructure, from the Waynesboro Airport to the Drive-in Theater near Westover Hills.
