Title A name given to the resource Rappahannock County SNP Records: Miscellaneous Documents Description An account of the resource The second series in the Rappahannock County SNP Records collection consists of 28 files related to the court proceedings from The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Clifton Aylor and others, and Thirty-Seven Thousand Four Hundred (37,400) Acres of Land, more or less, in Rappahannock County, Virginia. This was a court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire privately held land located within the boundary of Rappahannock County in the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. Within the boundaries of eight counties, the state of Virginia, in collaboration with the Federal government, used eminent domain condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents in this collection are miscellaneous records including correspondence, petitions, orders, proceedings from the law and order book and affidavits. An additional file of interest to researchers includes the Panorama File, which includes detailed information on the history of the Panorama Resort.

Suffice it to say here that t he basis of the ex- ception is the extremely inadequate and confiscatory value placed upon the lands of exceptant; these lands are not property segregated as to quality or value. The a.mount allowed per a cre for ex- ceptant's land is not only not the fair value of said land under normal conditions, under which conditions said land must be valued, but is grossly inadequate and oonfiscatory in view of the fact th t it is the purpose of the Conservation Commission to take all suoh grazing lands upon the Blue Ridge Mountain.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County SNP Records: Court Proceedings Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rockingham County Circuit Courthouse Description An account of the resource The first series of the SNP Records collection consists of 4,756 documents related to The State Commission on Conservation and Development of the State of Virginia v. Cassandra Lawson Atkins and others, and Fifty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-One (52,561) Acres of Land, more or less in Rockingham County, Virginia, court case initiated by the state of Virginia in order to acquire 52,561 acres of privately held land located within the northern Blue Ridge Mountains.  The Virginia government in collaboration with the federal government, used condemnation, a process that involves the seizure of an individual's private property for public use, without the owner’s consent, but with payment of compensation, and more formally known as “eminent domain,” to create the Shenandoah National Park. The documents within the collection almost entirely refer to land located within Rockingham County, but other counties within the park’s scope followed a similar process to acquire the land. The documents are broken up into three categories: Deed Books, Miscellaneous Documents, and Condemnation Cases. This collection contains the Condemnation Cases.
