About this map

Great North Mountain and the surrounding ridges of the Blue Ridge dominate this portion of Frederick County, where the dense mountain trails of Shawneeland meet the rural valleys of the Shenandoah. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel heights, including Cove Ridge, Sand Ridge, and Flint Ridge, which create a complex network of hollows and runs. Along the Northwestern Pike, the settlement of Hayfield serves as a local hub near Mount Olive Cem.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across this landscape, from Lamps Memorial Church Cem near Mount Pleasant to Wisecarver Cem in the south. The area's hydrology is equally intricate, with numerous water bodies like Cherokee Lake, Meadow Lake, and Lehmans Pond dotting the valleys between ridges. These features, along with named passes like Clowser Gap and Fawcett Gap, illustrate the historic patterns of movement through this upland region of Virginia.
