About this map

Harrisonburg and its eastern surroundings are defined by the convergence of urban development and the prominent ridges of the Page Valley. In this 2016 survey, the city’s residential expansion is evident near Newman Lake, while numerous burial grounds like Hebrew Cem, Newton Cem, and Woodbine Cem offer significant genealogical interest within the city limits. Moving southeast, the landscape transitions toward Massanetta Springs and the rising slopes of Massanutten Mountain.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the George Washington National Forest and the dramatic topography of The Kettle. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Ashby Monument and smaller communities like Keezletown and Penn Laird. The map traces the flow of Smith Cr and Cub Run, illustrating how the valley's drainage patterns have influenced the location of crossroads like Peales Crossroads and the recreational waters of Shenandoah Lake.
