1961 Map of Winchester

About this map

The boundary between Brown Co Adams Co runs through this landscape of the Virginia Military District, where the town of Winchester serves as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural townships. The Norfolk And Western railway provides a straight transit line through the terrain, connecting the smaller settlements of Macon and Winchester. To the north, Fincastle sits near the winding West Fork Ohio Brush Creek, while the southern reaches are marked by the waters of the Cherry Fork. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Independence Cem and Rickey Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing essential data for genealogical research. Ancient history is present as well, noted by the Indian Mound located north of Winchester Lake. The network of rural roads, including Greathouse Road and Juillerat Road, illustrates the established 1960s rural settlement pattern.
