1966 Map of Winchester

About this map

Winchester serves as the focal point of this Frederick County survey, where the convergence of the Baltimore and Ohio, Penn Central, and Winchester and Western railroads illustrates a long-standing transportation hub. The town's historical depth is evident in its numerous religious and educational sites, including Sacred Heart Ch and Handley High Sch. Moving beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into agricultural and ridge-and-valley terrain. Significant local heritage is preserved at Old Opequon Ch and the Mt Hebron Cemetery, while the northern reaches are defined by Apple Pie Ridge and Hunting Ridge. This late-1960s perspective also captures early suburban expansion at Frederick Heights and Sunnyside, alongside institutional landmarks like Shenandoah College and the VPI Experimental Sta.
