About this map

Luray sits within the heart of Page Valley, flanked by the significant topographic rises of Massanutten Mountain to the west and the heights of Shenandoah National Park to the east. This modern survey shows the town's growth beyond its core, extending toward Woodland Park and housing the Lord Fairfax Community College. The landscape is defined by the winding South Fork Shenandoah River, which is crossed at the western edge by the Bixler Bridge.

Genealogists can identify numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Old County Cemetery and Beahms Chapel Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinct peaks such as Kennedy Peak and Fodder House Mountain, while local water management is evident at the Luray Reservoir and Lake Arrowhead. Outlying settlements like Kimball, Springfield, and Stony Man illustrate the rural residential patterns of this part of the Blue Ridge region.
