About this map

Shenandoah National Park and the adjacent Rapidan Wildlife Management Area dominate this section of the Blue Ridge, where high-altitude peaks like Hazeltop and Bush Mtn drop away into deep hollows. The settlement of Fletcher is a primary point of interest for researchers, situated near the Conway River and Middle River Chapel. The landscape shows a clear division between protected federal parkland along Skyline Drive and the working forest and small mountain communities below the ridge.

Evidence of local religious and social life is found at Shiloh Ch and the Lower Pocosin Mission, alongside family-named landmarks like McDaniel Hollow and Garth Run. Recreational infrastructure is well-marked for hikers and campers, including the Appalachian Trail, Bearfence Mountain Shelter, and the Lewis Mountain Campground. This 1999 revision captures the intersection of conservation land and established rural settlements across the Madison, Page, and Greene county lines.
