About this map

North Mountain and Apple Pie Ridge define the ridgeline-and-valley geography along the border of Frederick County, Virginia, and Berkeley County, West Virginia. This 1965 survey documents a landscape of scattered rural crossroads and agricultural runs just prior to the expansion of regional infrastructure. Notable concentrations of early community life are visible at White Hall, Green Spring, and De Haven, where numerous country churches like Pine Grove Ch and Howard Chapel serve the local population.

The presence of Braddock Road in the southern portion of the sheet provides a tangible link to colonial-era movement through the Shenandoah Valley. Water resources like Silver Lake and Lake St Clair appear alongside various springs and hollows, illustrating the drainage patterns of Back Creek and its many tributaries. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of local family-named landmarks and small cemeteries, including the Mt Olive Cem and Chestnut Grove Ch site.
