About this map

Boyce and its surrounding countryside reflect a deeply rooted agricultural and social landscape where established crossroads like White Post and Millwood have long served as local centers. The terrain is marked by historical estates and small settlements, including the distinctive Greenway Court and Saratoga, situated between the winding Opequon Creek and the Shenandoah River. These watercourses define the topography, with the river south of Bethel featuring several islands such as Hardin Island and Treasure Island.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the map, including Old Bethel Cem, Little Chapel Cem, and Old Chapel Cem. The transition from historic landholdings to modern development is visible in the layout of Shenandoah Farms and the presence of the White Post Airport. This survey captures the spatial relationship between the limestone-rich valleys and the rising elevation toward Gibson Ridge and Calmes Neck.
