About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Shenandoah River and South Fork Shenandoah River serves as the focal point for this mid-1990s look at Front Royal. The landscape is dominated by the transition from industrial and transit hubs like Riverton Junction and Viscose City to the protected forests of Shenandoah National Park. Significant local landmarks include the Randolph Macon Military Academy and the Skyline Caverns Entrance, alongside numerous civic buildings such as the Courthouse and Townhall.

Genealogists will find detailed records of local resting places including Prospect Hill Cem, Good Hope Cem, and The Ramey Graveyard. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the Norfolk and Western rail lines and the famous Skyline Drive winding through Dickey Ridge. This survey reflects a community balanced between its industrial roots, its role as a gateway to the Blue Ridge mountains, and its historical educational institutions like Morrison Sch.
