About this map

S Fork Shenandoah River winds through the heart of this Rockingham County landscape, marking a transition between the valley floor settlements and the rising elevations of Shenandoah National Park. The survey illustrates the rural character of communities like McGaheysville, Island Ford, and Berrytown, which are connected by historic routes such as McGaheysville Rd and 340. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring a network of trails and overlooks along the iconic Skyline Dr.

High-altitude landmarks such as Pinefield Gap and Rockytop overlook deep drainage basins like Eppert Hollow and Big Run. For those tracking the intersection of public lands and local history, the map identifies specific back-country structures including the Doyles River Cabin and Pinefield Shelter. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous runs, including Stony Run and Onemile Run, which define the local topography between the river and the mountain peaks.
