About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the eastern portion of this quadrangle, defining the lowlands of the Page Valley as it flows past the settlements of Hamburg and Leaksville. This river corridor contrasts sharply with the massive presence of Massanutten Mountain, which dominates the central and western terrain with a series of steep ridges and secluded hollows like Crisman Hollow and Duncan Hollow.

Evidence of the area's early industrial and social history is grounded in labels like Furnace Cem and Woods Chapel Cem, while the modern landscape is marked by the Luray Caverns Airport and the sprawling reaches of the George Washington National Forest. Key geographic crossings, such as New Market Gap and Burners Gap, highlight the historic transit routes through the mountain barriers that separate the valley floor from the western Shenandoah Co border.
