About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates this part of the Virginia landscape, dividing the Page Valley from the Fort Valley as the South Fork Shenandoah River snakes through the eastern lowlands. The 2019 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of Woodstock in the northwest and Rileyville in the southeast, where the Norfolk Southern railway parallels the river's winding course. Between these populated centers, the George Washington National Forest covers high ridges such as Powell Mtn and Green Mtn.

Evidence of local history and community is found in scattered hamlets like Seven Fountains and Detrick, as well as family-named burial grounds including Riverview Cem and Munch Cem. Topographical features like Habron Gap, Jacks Notch, and Woodstock Gap highlight the historic passage points through the steep ridges that have long shaped travel and trade in this portion of Shenandoah and Page Counties.
