2013 Map of Elkton East

About this map

Shenandoah and Elkton anchor this 2013 survey of the Page and Rockingham county line, where the Blue Ridge Mountains descend toward the South River valley. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the wilderness of Shenandoah National Park, featuring the high peaks of Grindstone Mountain, Bald Face Mountain, and Huckleberry Mountain. The map reveals a landscape defined by its water sources, from the notable Bear Lithia Spring and Elkton Spring to the cascading South River Falls and Dry Run Falls. In the foothills between the park boundary and the river, smaller settlements like Furnace, Verbena, and Fleeburg follow the drainage of Naked Creek. The terrain is marked by numerous hollows, such as Weaver Hollow and Crow Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected geography typical of the western slope of the Blue Ridge.
