2022 Map of Browns Cove

About this map

Shenandoah National Park defines the western high ground of this landscape, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and Skyline Dr follow the ridgeline of the Blue Ridge. Below these heights, the land transitions into the fertile valleys of Browns Cove and Blackwells Hollow. Settlements like Mountfair and Doylesville are situated along the Doyles River, anchored by historic agricultural sites such as Deep Rock Farm and Mount Air Farm. The mapping shows a distinct pattern of rural life where family-named features like Martins Mtn and Gibson Mtn overlook the drainage of the Moormans River. Genealogists may find particular value in the locations of the Mount Carmel Cem, Sandridge Cem, and Tate Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community's lineage among the hollows of Wildcat Hollow and Sugar Hollow.
