About this map

The sprawling campus of James Madison University and the urban center of Harrisonburg dominate the western portion of this Shenandoah Valley landscape. In the late 20th century, the city's expansion is evident through its network of residential streets and institutional grounds, including Woodbine Cem and Hebrew Cem. East of the city, the terrain transitions into the steep, forested slopes of Massanutten Mountain, reaching a summit at Massanutten Peak.

Smaller rural hubs such as Keezletown, Peales Crossroads, and Penn Laird anchor the agricultural and suburban valleys between the city and the George Washington National Forest. Notable landmarks like the Ashby Monument and Massanutten Caverns speak to the region's long-standing status as a site of historical commemoration and tourism. Waterways like Smith Creek and Cub Run drain toward Lake Shenandoah, while the presence of several Quarries indicates the localized extraction industry of Rockingham County.
