2022 Map of Ferncliff

About this map

Bells Crossroads and the surrounding Virginia countryside sit at the intersection of numerous historic transit corridors where Louisa, Fluvanna, and Goochland counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Anna River in the north and the complex drainage of the Little River and Roundabout Cr through the central hills. Long-established nodes like Ferncliff and Shannon Hill follow the path of Three Notch Rd, a route reflecting the area's deep-rooted settlement patterns. Family history and local landmarks are preserved through labels such as Grubbs Cem, the industrial site at Byrd Mill, and the small Payne Airport. The topography shows a transition from well-watered river bottoms to higher, ridged terrain near Quail, where creeks like Critter Cove and Rattlesnake Run carve through the woodland and farm tracts.
