About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates the landscape of this region, creating a dramatic series of ridges and valleys within the George Washington National Forest. The geography is defined by prominent peaks like Strickler Knob and Duncan Knob, which hem in narrow corridors such as Crisman Hollow and Duncan Hollow. These mountain features separate the broader Page Valley to the east from the forest interior. Along the South Fork Shenandoah River, the settlement pattern reflects deep-rooted family histories, evidenced by numerous private burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a high density of named family sites, including the White House Family Graveyard, the Jacob Strickler Cem, and the Abraham Brubaker Cem. The map tracks the transition from the high ridges of Waterfall Mtn down to established communities like Hamburg, Salem, and Leaksville. Transportation is marked by a network of forest trails such as the Massanutten Trl and Taskers Gap Trl, contrasting with the more developed infrastructure near Luray Caverns Airport.
