1966 Map of Wolf Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Liberty Furnace and Columbia Furnace anchor the southern reaches of this mid-1960s survey, marking a landscape defined by the remnants of the region's iron industry. Positioned along the border of Hardy County, West Virginia, and Shenandoah County, Virginia, the terrain is dominated by the high ridges of Great North Mountain and the deep drainage of Stony Creek. The map documents a transition from industrial history to mid-century recreation, featuring the Wolf Gap Recreation Area and the high-elevation Trout Pond within the George Washington National Forest. Evidence of earlier transport persists through the Old Railroad Grade and the Old Grade Road snaking through the gaps. Local community life is visible at Mt Vernon Ch and Bethlehem Ch, while the heights of Big Schloss and Tibbet Knob provide distinctive landmarks for those tracing the borderlands of the Virginias.
