About this map

Bridgewater and the western edge of Harrisonburg anchor this 2010 topographic record of the central Shenandoah Valley. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North River and the numerous small waterways that drain the valley floor, including Muddy Creek and Cooks Creek. Agricultural and residential patterns are well-established, with distinct smaller communities such as Dayton, Mount Clinton, and Montezuma connected by a network of rural roads.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, from the Eastern Mennonite University campus to numerous burial grounds like Mount Horeb Cemetery and Pike Cemetery. Aviation history is noted by the presence of small private airfields like the Lester Frank Landing Strip and Pure Village Landing Strip, while the area's industrial past is represented by Byerlys Mill and the Silver Lake Dam near Silver Lake.
