About this map

Bentonville and the winding South Fork Shenandoah River dominate this landscape where the George Washington National Forest meets the northern reaches of Shenandoah National Park. The river snakes through the valley floor, passing through Burners Bottom and Overall, while the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks parallel its course to serve small valley communities like Limeton and Compton. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous family burying grounds such as the Brown-Pinkett Cem, Carter Family Cem, and the Stewart-Baltimore Family Cem.

Upland terrain transitions from the slopes of Massanutten Mountain in the west toward the high ridges of the Blue Ridge in the southeast. Along these elevations, researchers can find named landmarks like Rattlesnake Point and Sugarloaf, as well as the path of the Tuscarora - Veach Gap Trl. The map provides a modern view of these long-settled areas, showing the persistent placement of local landmarks like Saint Paul's United Methodist Church amidst the timber ridges and hollows.
