About this map

Front Royal and its surrounding river valleys are the focal point of this 2010 survey, showing the town at a significant stage of modern development. The map details the convergence of the North Fork Shenandoah River and South Fork Shenandoah River, a natural confluence that historically dictated the growth of nearby Riverton. Residential expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Viscose City, Williamsburg Estates, and Highland Park, while the southern edge of the sheet transitions into the protected terrain of Shenandoah National Park along Dickey Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of several burial grounds, including Prospect Hill Cemetery and Good Hope Cemetery, alongside established family lands such as Willow Brook Farm and Gently Farm. Industrial and transit infrastructure is well-marked, from the Riverton Junction to the Potomac-Edison Dam, illustrating how the town's position along the Shenandoah River and major rail lines continues to shape its layout and economy.
