About this map

The S River winds through the floor of the Shenandoah Valley, anchoring a landscape where agricultural lowlands transition sharply into the protected wilderness of Shenandoah National Park. Early twenty-first-century settlements like Crimora and Harriston are connected by a legacy of transport and industry, including the Norfolk and Western railway corridor and local landmarks like Red Mills. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the steep ascent to the Blue Ridge, featuring prominent peaks such as Turk Mountain and Rocks Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of Mount Horeb Cem and the Forest Chapel. The map also captures several recreation and vista points within the park, such as Crimora Lake and the Moormans River Overlook. This detailed survey highlights the enduring geography of Augusta County, from the valley floor's small airfields like Mount Horeb Field Airport to the high gaps at Blackrock Gap.
