2016 Map of Bentonville

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River snakes through the heart of this region, separating the steep eastern ridges of Shenandoah National Park from the heights of Massanutten Mountain to the west. Central to the Page Valley, the settlement of Bentonville serves as a local hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Limeton, Overall, and Compton. This geography highlights the long-standing importance of river and rail corridors in the valley, with the mountains providing a dramatic backdrop for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the high-elevation Skyline Dr. Historically significant hollows and ridges like Thompson Hollow, Gimlet Ridge, and Beecher Ridge segment the landscape, reflecting a pattern of upland land use that borders the George Washington National Forest.
