2022 Map of Castleton

About this map

The Thornton River and Hazel River carve a path through this section of Culpeper County, where the Rappahannock County line follows the ridge of Castleton Mtn. This landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and deep-rooted religious institutions, including the Gourdvine Baptist Church and Woodland United Methodist Church. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many family-named burial sites, such as the Crigler Cem, Pierce-Settle Cem, and the Tutt-Covington Cem near Salem. Transport follows traditional routes like the Sperryville Pike and Old Turnpike Rd, connecting clusters of activity at Eggbornsville, Castleton, and Monumental Mills. This area reflects a long-standing rural structure where small communities formed around water-powered industry and community churches.
