2019 Map of Browns Cove

About this map

Shenandoah National Park and its mountain ridges dominate the northwestern portion of this 2019 survey, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and Skyline Dr trace the border between Rockingham and Albemarle counties. The landscape transitions from these high peaks like Trayfoot Mtn and Pinestand Mtn into a complex system of hollows and gaps that historically funneled travel through the Blue Ridge. In the lower elevations, the small settlements of Browns Cove and Doylesville sit along the Doyles River, maintaining a rural character defined by historic farmsteads such as Blue Fox Farm and Mount Air Farm. Genealogists will find several family and church burial sites, including Mount Carmel Cem and Sandridge Cem, located near the intersection of the Browns Gap Tpke and Doylesville Rd.
