About this map

Shenandoah National Park and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail dominate this landscape where Madison and Page, Greene, and Rockingham counties converge. The high elevations of the Blue Ridge are marked by prominent points like Hazeltop and Bearfence Mtn, with Skyline Drive tracing the ridge line. Below the peaks, the terrain is deeply dissected by drainages such as Pocosin Hollow and McDaniel Hollow, where local family history is preserved at the Lower Pocosin Mission Cem and Shiflett Cem.

The settlement of Fletcher sits near the confluence of the Conway River and Middle River Road, serving as a gateway to the steep eastern slopes. This area maintains a balance between protected federal wilderness and the long-standing community landmarks found in the hollows. Genealogists can trace family names through landmarks like Kirtley Mtn and Jones Mtn, or locate early homestead sites near the South River Cem.
