About this map

The Shenandoah River snakes through the western portion of this landscape, defining the character of communities like Shannondale and Riverside. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from the river lowlands to the elevated ridges of the Blue Ridge, where the Appalachian Trail Rd follows the high ground near Wilson Gap and Sunny Ridge. Notable for local historians, the map records the locations of several early industrial and community landmarks, including Clips Mill on Evitts Run and the Furnace Run Dam Site.

To the east, the terrain shifts into the Piedmont, centered around the established town of Round Hill and the smaller settlement of Edgegrove. This area is defined by its agricultural roots and water management, visible in the Purcellville Reservoir and its associated Purcellville Dam. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Kabletown Churchyard Cemetery and the Ketoctin Cemetery near the crossroads of Miller.
