2016 Map of Churchville

About this map

Churchville serves as a central hub in this section of Augusta County, situated where Jennings Branch flows toward the Middle River. The landscape transitions from the dense timber of the George Washington National Forest along McKittricks Ridge in the northwest to a network of established family farms and small communities further south and east. Historic burial grounds like Crosby Cem, Green Hill Cem, and Hunters Cem are scattered across the terrain, reflecting generations of settlement near places like Lone Fountain and Swoope. The hydrological pattern is defined by the winding course of the Middle River, which passes near West View and Hebron, while smaller features like Trimbles Mill and Smithleigh Lake indicate local water use for industry and recreation in the early 21st century.
