About this map

Boyce and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Clarke and Warren Counties are defined by their deep ties to Virginia's colonial and academic heritage. The area is home to the University of Virginia - Blandy Experimental Farm, a significant research arboretum located near the historic community of Millwood. The geography is anchored by the winding Shenandoah River in the south, where distinctive river features like Hardin Island, Treasure Island, and the curiously named Robinson Crusoe Island break the water's path near Swift Shoals.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of these communities through numerous small settlements and burial sites, including Pyletown, White Post, and Briggs. Religious and family history is preserved at the Old Chapel Cem, Little Chapel Cem, and Old Bethel Cem. The landscape transitions from the open fields near Saratoga to the limestone formations and river bluffs of Lovers Leap, reflecting the classic valley topography of this region.
