About this map

Luray serves as the focal point of this Page County survey, situated along the banks of Hawksbill Creek. The town's local character is detailed through several residential and civic landmarks, including the Luray Post Office, the iconic Singing Tower, and the established grounds of Green Hill Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery. To the west, the South Fork Shenandoah River winds past the Luray Dam and Bixler Bridge, while to the east, the landscape transitions into the steep elevations of Kennedy Peak and Fodder House Mountain.

The outlying rural areas are dotted with smaller settlements and family-named hollows, such as Vaughn, Springfield, and Britton Hollow. Significant water management features like Lake Arrowhead and the Dry Run Number 101 Dam indicate the modern infrastructure supporting these communities. Numerous historic burial grounds, from the Old County Cemetery to Beahms Chapel Cemetery, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists tracing local lineage in this corner of the Shenandoah Valley.
