About this map

Edinburg and Woodstock anchor this portion of the Shenandoah Valley, where the North Fork Shenandoah River creates the distinctive loops of the Seven Bends. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the settled valley floor along the Old Valley Pike and the steep, wooded slopes of the George Washington National Forest. To the east, Massanutten Mountain dominates the skyline, featuring high-elevation points like Waonaze Peak and natural gaps including Edinburg Gap and Taskers Gap.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites throughout the rural countryside, including Cedarwood Cem, Palmyra Cem, and Union Forge Cem. The map illustrates the region's agricultural and transit roots, tracing the path of the river alongside smaller communities like Bowmans Crossing and Hawkinstown. Technical landmarks such as Longs Airport and the geological curiosity of Forty Foot Gully further characterize this valley landscape.
