About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the heart of Page County, shaping a landscape defined by the dramatic ridges of the George Washington National Forest. This 1967 survey captures the intersection of rural riverbank life and the massive limestone formations of Massanutten Mountain. Along the river's bend, the map details the small settlements of Hamburg and Leaksville, where the Mill Creek Ch and various cemeteries mark the long-standing foundations of local families.

Upland from the valley floor, the terrain rises into a series of parallel peaks including Kerns Mountain and Middle Mountain. Historic activity in the gaps is evidenced by the Furnace Cem near the Caroline Furnace Camp and the Camp Roosevelt Recreation Area situated at Big Spring. These features, along with names like Whitehouse Landing and Woods Chapel, provide an essential record of the cultural geography of the Shenandoah Valley during the late 1960s.
