2016 Map of Brightwood

About this map

The Robinson River flows through a landscape of distinctive peaks and rural crossroads at the border of Madison and Culpeper Counties. Settlement is concentrated in small communities like Brightwood, Novum, and the uniquely named Zeus, each connected by a network of historic routes including Reva Rd and N Seminole Trl. The geography is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Thorofare Mtn, Hume Mtn, and Arrington Mtn, which overlook the creek valleys of Deep Run and Crooked Run. Family and community history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Thorofare Community Chapel Cem and Bethsaida Cem. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural Piedmont, where small hamlets like Leon and Tryme remain centered around these traditional watercourses and ridges.
