About this map

Woodstock serves as the focal point for this survey of the Shenandoah Valley, situated along the Southern Ry corridor and the historic Massanutten Military Academy. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the George Washington National Forest, where industrial history is preserved at the Van Buren Furnace (Ruins) near Capola Mtn. The map reveals a high concentration of rural community anchors, including the Columbia Furnace settlement and numerous country congregations such as Mount Zion Ch and Patmos Ch.

The rugged terrain of Little Mountain and North Mountain is cut by the dramatic Narrow Passage, while the eastern valley floor is a patchwork of small agricultural hamlets like Alonzaville, St Luke, and Coffmantown. The inclusion of the Hardy Co Shenandoah Co line marks the border with West Virginia, highlighting the topographical transition from the valley floor to the ridgelines of Paddy Mountain and Sugar Knob.
