Industrial history and rural settlement patterns converge along the state border in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley terrain of North Mountain and Sluice Mountain, with the George Washington National Forest covering much of the northern highlands. A significant historical anchor is found at the Van Buren Furnace ruins, pointing to the region's 19th-century iron-working heritage near Cedar Creek. To the south, the valley floor transitions into a network of small communities such as St Luke, Harmony, and Coffmantown. The map provides detailed placement of local landmarks like Mount Zion Ch and the Massanutten Military Academy on the edge of Woodstock, while the narrow drainage of Passage Creek cuts through the steep gaps of the western ridges.
