About this map

Singers Glen serves as the focal point for this landscape where the Shenandoah Valley meets the eastern slopes of the George Washington National Forest. The geography is defined by the prominent ridge of Little North Mountain, which separates the fertile valley floor from the densely wooded terrain of Hogpen Mtn and Buck Lick Mtn. This document records a network of small rural communities and mountain gaps, such as Palos and Hopkins Gap, that historically linked these two distinct environments.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several country churches and cemeteries, including Morning View Ch, Gospel Hill Ch, and the Green Mount Cem. The map identifies early industry and natural landmarks like Stultz Mill on Muddy Creek and the unique hydrological features of Sparkling Springs and Tide Spring. A dam under construction along Slate Lick Run indicates mid-century water management efforts in the headwaters of the Shoemaker River.
