About this map

Edinburg and Woodstock anchor this portion of the Shenandoah Valley, where the North Fork Shenandoah River carves the distinctive Seven Bends through the landscape. The geography is defined by the contrast between the fertile valley floor and the rising ridges of the George Washington National Forest to the east. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of the region, from the tight clusters of Edinburg and Mount Jackson to the rural crossings at Bowmans Crossing and Hawkinstown.

Genealogists can trace family heritage through several burial grounds, including Union Forge Cem and Cedarwood Cem. The map illustrates the region's transport infrastructure, showing the corridor formed by Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 alongside aviation landmarks like Karmy's Airport. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Short Mtn and Mertins Rock, with the high gaps of Edinburg Gap and Taskers Gap providing passage through the Massanutten range.
