About this map

Old Iron Furnace stands as a quiet reminder of early industrial activity in the northern Shenandoah Valley, situated near Ridge Hollow and the Laurel Run drainage. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape defined by traditional rural settlements like Conicville and Hudson Crossroads, where the placement of cemeteries such as Saint Pauls Cemetery and Christ Church Cemetery reflects deep-rooted community history. The terrain is structured by a series of prominent ridges, including Supin Lick Ridge and Persimmon Ridge, which dictate the paths of local waterways like Stony Creek and Riles Run.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds. From Our Soldiers Cemetery in the southeast near Rinkerton to the remote Bethel Cemetery east of Hamburg, the map preserves the geographical layout of Shenandoah County’s historic hamlets. The road network connecting Mount Clifton and Jerome highlights the enduring rural character of this region, even as modern data standards are applied to the old topographic features.
