About this map

South River and Irish Creek carve through the mountain gaps in this 2011 survey of Rockbridge County. Small settlements like Marlbrook, Donaldsburg, and Midvale appear along the valley floors, while Blacksburg and Crossroads Store occupy more central positions. The map provides excellent genealogical detail for local researchers, featuring several burial grounds such as McDowell Cemetery, Timber Ridge Cemetery, and Mountain Cemetery.

The landscape is defined by its numerous peaks and hollows, including Whites Peak, McClure Peak, and the distinctive Dismal Hollow near the northern edge. Waterways like Chalk Mine Run, Mill Creek, and Pedlar River weave through the terrain, illustrating the historical drainage patterns that influenced local development. From Cypress Falls to Whites Gap Overlook, the map traces a network of rural roads and trails, such as the Borden Grant Trl and Timber Ridge Rd, that connect these highland communities.
