About this map

The North Fork Shenandoah River carves a narrow valley through the heart of the George Washington National Forest in this 1967 survey. The settlement of Fulks Run serves as a local hub near several river fords and the Roadside Park. This era of the landscape is defined by small, dispersed rural communities like Yankeetown and Genoa, each marked by their local congregations such as Riverside Ch and Mountain Grove Ch.

Upland geography is dominated by a succession of significant peaks and ridges including Buffalo Clover Knob, Church Mountain, and Little Mountain. Numerous hollows, such as Clover Lick Hollow and Nash Hollow, feed into the river system. The presence of Little Dry River and Smith Creek illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Shenandoah Valley's western edge, while a Shale Pit near Genoa points to local extractive activity.
