1965 Map of White Hall

About this map

Apple Pie Ridge and North Mountain dominate this landscape along the border of Frederick County and Berkeley County. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the map illustrates a rural Virginia-West Virginia borderland defined by narrow valleys and persistent ridge-top settlements like White Hall and Cedar Grove. The concentration of religious sites, such as the Old Stone Ch and Pine Grove Ch, points to established community centers that historically linked the scattered farms of the Shenandoah Valley periphery. The presence of Braddock Road highlights the area's deep colonial-era transit roots, while local water bodies like Silver Lake and Lake St Clair provide focal points for recreation and livestock near the southern end of the sheet. Distinctive gaps and hollows, such as Dutton Gap and Warm Springs Hollow, trace the natural pathways through the limestone and sandstone terrain that shaped early regional development.
