About this map

Timberville anchors the southeastern corner of this survey where the Southern Railway crosses the North Fork Shenandoah River. The landscape transitions from the fertile river valley into the steep terrain of Little North Mountain and the George Washington National Forest. Small crossroads and rural gathering places such as Moores Store, Getz Corner, and Mechanicsville serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community.

Deep in the western ridges, geographic landmarks like Brocks Gap and Chimney Rock mark the narrow passage of the river through the mountains. Local history is preserved through numerous rural congregations, including Antioch Ch, St Lukes Ch, and Mt Olivet Ch. The 1986 photorevisions highlight shifts in land use, showing Industrial Waste Ponds and Sewage Disposal Ponds near the river, reflecting the area's evolving infrastructure alongside traditional homesteads and mountain hollows.
