About this map

The Shenandoah Valley floor rises toward the prominent heights of Massanutten Mountain in this 2022 survey, which captures the urban expansion and historical layers of the region. Harrisonburg serves as the focal point, with the sprawling campus of James Madison University and the Rockingham County Courthouse anchoring the city's core. The landscape transitions from dense municipal development to the academic and residential corridors surrounding Newman Lake, eventually giving way to the agricultural and recreational lands of the George Washington Nat For.

Genealogists will find exceptional detail in the distribution of family-named cemeteries and rural settlements. Names like Zirkle, Melrose, and Keezletown represent long-standing communities, while sites such as the Whitmore Family Cem, Brock Family Cem, and Webster Family Cem provide specific points of interest for family historians. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the steep ascent to Massanutten Peak and Lairds Knob, where numerous recreational paths like the Gravel Doubletrack Trl and Old Barn Connector Trl crisscross the terrain.
