About this map

Deerfield Valley serves as the focal point for settlement and agriculture in this 1960s survey of the Virginia highlands, updated in the mid-1980s. The community of Deerfield is positioned where several mountain runs converge, including Broadway Branch and Tizzle Branch. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of Shenandoah Mountain and Walker Mountain, much of which is protected within the George Washington National Forest.

Evidence of the area's rural social fabric is found at Rocky Spring Ch and the remote Mt Mary Cem tucked along the slopes. The Calfpasture River winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, passing small locales like Fridley and Marble Valley. Extensive networks of jeep trails and forest roads penetrate the deep hollows, such as Hickory Log Hollow and Horseshoe Hollow, reflecting the region's history of logging and rugged backcountry access.
