2019 Map of Stanley

About this map

The South Fork Shenandoah River winds through the heart of Page Valley, defining the agricultural and transit corridor between two major mountain ranges. To the west, the George Washington National Forest rises toward First Mtn, while the eastern portion of the map climbs into the heights of Shenandoah National Park, featuring landmarks like The Pinnacle and Dog Slaughter Ridge. The Norfolk Southern railway tracks parallel the river, connecting small settlements like Ingham, Grove Hill, and the town of Shenandoah at the southern edge. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial sites, including Saint Pauls Cem and Comer Cem. This landscape shows a distinct pattern of valley floor farming and commerce, notably around the town of Stanley, set against the steep, wooded terrain of the surrounding ridges.
