About this map

Stephens City and its surrounding rural landscapes in Frederick County are documented in this 2016 survey, where the historic Valley Pike serves as a primary corridor through the Shenandoah Valley. The map records several small hamlets and mill sites that speak to the area's agricultural and industrial heritage, including Klines Mill, Ridings Mill, and Parkins Mills. Water resources are central to the terrain, featuring the prominent Lake Frederick and the natural flow of Opequon Cr and Stephens Run.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of numerous community burial grounds such as Green Hill Cem and the adjacent Friendship Cem and Fairview Cem. The boundary lines between Frederick, Clarke, and Warren counties converge here, showing how local jurisdictions meet near Nineveh and Ashby. From the notable Vaucluse Spring to the contours of Toney Hollow, the map provides a precise record of the physical and cultural geography of this Virginia region.
