About this map

The Shenandoah River cuts a wide, meandering path through this Northern Virginia landscape, defining the transition between the rolling valley floor and the rising heights of the Blue Ridge mountains. Near the historic crossing at Berrys, the river is bridged at Byrd Bridge and Trap Bridge, while the memory of earlier river travel is preserved in the name of Castlemans Ferry Bridge to the north. Settlement is concentrated in small clusters such as Paris, positioned at the foot of the mountains, and Frogtown, located further north along the slopes.
