About this map

The town of Madison serves as the focal point in this survey, which transitions from settled valley lands into the high ridges of the Shenandoah National Park. The landscape is defined by the winding courses of the Robinson River and Rose River, where small communities like Criglersville, Syria, and Aylor are situated. These settlements follow the water, connected by secondary roads and historic paths like the Quaker Run and Blakey Ridge Trail.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous landmarks, including Berrey Cem, Gordon Cem, and rural houses of worship such as Mt Zion Ch and Second Robertson Ch. The topography rises sharply to the west, marked by significant elevations such as Doubletop Mountain and Blakey Ridge, the latter featuring a Lookout Tower on Utz Hightop. The presence of labels like Jarrell Corf and various unnamed cemeteries provides specific points of interest for researchers studying the mid-20th-century residential and social geography of Madison County.
