Antique Orkney Springs, Virginia 1943 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Shenandoah County, Lost City, Bird Haven, South Fork, Laura VA

Beautiful, antique map of Orkney Springs, Virginia and surrounding West Virginia and Shenandoah, Hardy, and Rockingham County area. This is an authentic 1943 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Virginia looked like over 80 years ago, before Lake Laura was created. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1943, printed 1943
