Wagon Road through Land Grants near North River Mills

Map by Galtjo Geertsema

We are indebted to the extensive research of Mr. Galtjo Geertsema who has mapped a large number of the original land grants in the lower Shenandoah River and Potomac Highlands area. The map below is one of his maps with the route of the Great Wagon Road through North River Mills shown in pencilled notations. We have marked the route by colored circles for easier viewing. This routing is based on mentions of the road in early surveys.
