About this map

Elkton and Shenandoah anchor the western edge of this corridor through the Page Valley, where the South Fork Shenandoah River winds past smaller hamlets like Verbena and Fleeburg. The landscape transitions from these river-valley settlements into the steep elevations of the Blue Ridge, marked by the iconic route of Skyline Dr. This elevation gain is punctuated by prominent local summits including Abrams Mountain, Hanse Mountain, and Huckleberry Mountain.

Genealogical interest is found in a series of family-named burial grounds like Koontz Cemetery, Samuels Cemetery, and Naylor Cemetery situated near the headwaters of Naked Creek and Dry Run. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the protected wilderness of Shenandoah National Park, featuring landmarks such as the South River Overlook and Bald Face Mountain Overlook which provide perspectives over the complex network of hollows including Weaver Hollow and Allen Hollow.
