Harrisonburg, VA Land Use

Harrisonburg, Virginia is located the heart of the Shenandoah Valley and is a sprawling college town, surrounded by rolling farm country, much of which is used for crop production -- corn for chicken, cattle and hogs but also a lot of forages. Heading to the west into West Virginia, you leave the farm country away for the hills and mountains of West Virginia.

NY 990V Touring Route

NY 990V, Bear Kill Road in Conesville is one of the few state reference routes that is signed as a touring route.

All reference routes start with 9, followed by the DOT Region (9). Undivided reference routes are then given a suffix of 0-5 and a letter. 990V was given a “V” because it looks like a “V” on the map, where it goes around the Schoharie Reservoir.

What you probably didn’t know is that NY 990V is exactly 9.90 km in length.
