About this map

Massanutten Mountain dominates this part of the Shenandoah Valley, where the George Washington National Forest provides a backdrop for rural life near the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the sinuous paths of the North Fork Shenandoah River and South Fork Shenandoah River, alongside smaller waters like Passage Creek and Dry Run. Settlements such as Seven Fountains, Fort Valley, and Rileyville serve as local anchors for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, including the Henry McInturff Cem, Levi Cullers Cem, and Sibert Cem. These landmarks, along with the Seven Fountains Sch and the Norfolk Southern railroad line near Rileyville, indicate a long-standing community structure rooted in the valley's distinct geography of gaps and notches, such as Habron Gap and Jacks Notch.
