2022 Map of Elkton West

About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates the western half of this Rockingham County landscape, where numerous ridges and peaks like Grubbs Knob and Hartman Knob rise above the Page Valley. The eastern portion of the map follows the winding course of the South Fork Shenandoah River, featuring Shuler Island and the transition into Shenandoah National Park. The settlement pattern follows the fertile corridor between the mountains and the river, anchored by Elkton and Shenandoah. Local history is preserved in a dense network of family and church burial sites, including the Arrey Fridley Family Cem in the north and the Yancey Family Cem near the river. This region illustrates the concentrated rural development common in the Shenandoah Valley, where small communities like East Point and Greenwood emerged at the foot of mountain gaps like Runkles Gap.
