About this map

Edinburg sits at the heart of this Shenandoah Valley landscape, where the North Fork Shenandoah River carves a winding path past several established communities. The river’s importance to the local economy is evidenced by features like the Edinburg Dam and Chapman Landing, while the surrounding valley floor is dotted with smaller settlements including Hawkinstown, Lantz Mills, and Bowmans Crossing.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous local burial grounds, such as Union Forge Cemetery, Cedarwood Cemetery, and Palmyra Cemetery. The topography rises sharply to the southeast with Short Mountain and Powell Mountain defining the valley edge. Notable agricultural and transportation landmarks, from Shenandoah Vineyards to the small rural airstrips at Longs Airport and Karmys Airport, reflect a mix of traditional land use and modern utility.
