George Washington National Forest borders the northern reaches of this Shenandoah Valley landscape, where the terrain transitions from the high elevations of Threemile Mtn and Supin Lick Ridge down into fertile hollows. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Stony Cr and Mill Cr, with established communities like Conicville, Mount Clifton, and Basye serving as local anchors. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from Saint Pauls Cem near Jerome to Our Soldiers Cem in Mount Jackson. The map details a network of rural routes such as Alum Springs Rd and Graveltown Rd, which connect family-named landmarks like Mumaw Hill, Davey Hill, and Pence Hill. This 2016 data illustrates how modern residential developments and forest boundaries coexist with the historic placement of country churches and family cemeteries.
