2016 Map of Crimora

About this map

The South River corridor defines the western half of this landscape, where the settlements of Crimora, Harriston, and Dooms sit along the valley floor. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the protected wilderness of Shenandoah National Park, marked by the high elevations of Turk Mtn and Trayfoot Mtn. This proximity between the agricultural valley and the Blue Ridge crest is bridged by numerous drainage hollows such as Lefthand Hollow and Riprap Hollow. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including Mountain View Cem near Sampson and the Old Cem further north. The map also traces the high-altitude path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it winds along the ridge, offering a detailed view of the eastern boundary where Augusta County meets Albemarle County.
