About this map

The Calfpasture River winds through this section of Augusta County, defining the agricultural and residential layout of Deerfield and the surrounding mountain hollows. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, with small communities like Little Baltimore and Marble Valley situated near the water's edge and the base of Walker Mountain. This landscape is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Bettys Hill, Fanny Hollow, and Kiser Hollow, which offer specific locations for genealogical research and local history studies.

Upland areas are dominated by ridges and draws, including Brushy Ridge and the unusually named Jerkemtight Branch. Historical land use is evident in features like the Mount Mary Cemetery and the Ruleman Turkey Farm, reflecting a long-standing rural economy. The intricate network of drafts and hollows, such as Cabin Hollow and Frames Draft, illustrates how the topography dictated early road placement and property lines in this part of Virginia.
