About this map

Barboursville and Ruckersville anchor this 2016 survey of central Virginia, where the Piedmont landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and family burial grounds. The map documents numerous local cemeteries including Ruckersville Cem, Eheart Cem, and Knights Chapel Cem, alongside family markers like Thomas Cem and Goss Cem. These sites, often located near rural churches such as Mount Lebanon, provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing regional lineages.

The physical geography is shaped by the Rapidan River in the northeast and a series of significant elevations to the south, including Goodlow Mtn, Peters Mtn, and Dowell Mtn. Watercourses like Blue Run, Beaver Run, and Marsh Run weave through the hilly terrain, frequently serving as natural boundaries as seen with the County Line Br. This combination of named branches and persistent small communities like Burnley, Eheart, and Tibbstown reflects a landscape that maintains its rural character through the early 21st century.
