About this map

Walker Mountain and the Great Knobs define the northeast-to-southwest grain of this Washington County landscape, which was undergoing notable suburban expansion and infrastructure updates during the late 1960s. The Norfolk and Western railway corridor serves as the spine for established settlements like Wyndale and Fractionville, while newer residential developments such as Colonial Heights, Preston Hills, and Evergreen Hills appear as purple-ink revisions.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, with dozens of small burial grounds like Pippin Cem, Rust Hollow (Post Cem), and Whittaker Cem scattered across the ridges. Transportation and recreation markers of the era are visible in the Lee Highway corridor, which includes a drive-in theater and the St. John Cem landing strip. The map also documents local infrastructure, from the Col. Robert Preston Memorial Bridge spanning Beaver Creek Lake to the rural Greendale School.
