About this map

Green Valley and the surrounding reaches of the George Washington National Forest define this 2019 survey of the Virginia highlands. The landscape is characterized by a series of parallel ridges and deep hollows, including Chestnut Ridge and Black Oak Ridge, which separate the drainage of the Cowpasture River in the west from the Calfpasture River in the east. Small settlements such as Hotchkiss, Armstrong, and Yost are situated along the narrow valley floors, connected by rural routes like Deerfield Rd and State Rte 629.

Genealogists may find interest in the Green Valley Cem near the center of the quadrangle, while landmarks like McCowan Spring and Panther Gap provide clear reference points for those tracing historical land use or movement through the mountain passes. The boundary between Rockbridge and Bath Counties cuts through the southeastern portion of the map, following the high ground of Mill Mtn and Sideling Hill.
