One rises on Shenandoah Mountain at the West Virginia-Virginia border and flows 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east to the North River. The other, farther east, forms at the juncture of its north and south forks and flows a total of 4.8 miles (7.7 km) east, then south, to join the North River just upstream from North River Gap.[1]
