Shawnee Land is a residential community in Frederick County, Virginia, United States. Shawnee Land is located on the eastern slopes of Great North Mountain. The U.S. Census Bureau defines it as a census-designated place (listed as Shawneeland), with a population of 1,873 as of 2010.[1] In its past, Shawnee Land was a ski resort, with a number of slopes located on the eastern side of Great North Mountain. Shawnee Land thrived for a few years, but eventually the investors abandoned the project and the ski slopes were closed.

Geography

The community is in western Frederick County, 10 miles (16 km) west of Winchester and 3 miles (5 km) east of the West Virginia border. The mountainside community rises from a base elevation of 850 feet (260 m) above sea level in the southeast, along Back Mountain Road, to the 2,300-foot (700 m) summit ridge of Great North Mountain in the northwest. The community drains east to the valley of Hogue Creek, which flows northeast to join Back Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Shawneeland CDP has a total area of 7.4 square miles (19.1 km2), of which 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2), or 0.48%, are water.[1]
