The Shenandoah Valley is a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, lying between the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Ridge and Valley Appalachians to the west, bounded by the Potomac River to the north and the James River to the south. It sits within the Ridge and Valley physiographic province as part of the larger Great Appalachian Valley, with a floor elevation ranging from 500 to 1,500 feet and a northeast to southwest orientation shaped by erosion of the folded sedimentary rock underlying the region.
