About this map

Harrisonburg serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, showing the modern footprint of James Madison University and the Rockingham County Courthouse against the backdrop of the Shenandoah Valley. The landscape transitions from the urbanized center out toward the ridges of Massanutten Mountain, where Massanutten Peak and The Kettle define the eastern horizon. The map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, including the Hebrew Cem, Newton Cem, and Eastlawn Memorial Gardens, reflecting generations of community history.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain shifts into the George Washington National Forest and Page Valley. Smaller communities like Keezletown, Massanetta Springs, and Penn Laird are linked by historic corridors such as the N Valley Pike and Spotswood Trl. This documentation of the area around Chestnut Ridge captures the intersection of expanding suburban development and the long-standing agricultural and natural boundaries of the region.
