About this map

Great North Mountain anchors this mid-1990s look at the border between West Virginia and Virginia, where the ridge and valley landscape dictates both settlement and transport. In the southern reach of the map, the industrial history of the region is evident at Liberty Furnace and Columbia Furnace, centers that once supported the local iron trade. An Old Iron Furnace remains a physical landmark of this era, while an Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the valley near Stony Run.

Recreational sites within the George Washington National Forest appear prominently, including Wolf Gap Recreation Area and the high peaks of Big Schloss and Tibbet Knob. The map provides specific detail on local spiritual and social centers like Bethlehem Ch and Mt Vernon Ch, alongside family-named terrain features such as Bens Ridge and Bowers Mountain, offering a grounded resource for those tracing the geographic history of Hardy and Shenandoah counties.
