2022 Map of Green Valley

About this map

The George Washington National Forest dominates this landscape in Bath and Rockbridge Counties, where steep ridges and deep hollows dictate the layout of small mountain communities. The central valley is defined by the winding course of Mill Creek and Little Mill Cr, while the village of Goshen sits at the southern edge near the Caldpasture River. This area is particularly rich in genealogical sites, with numerous burial grounds including the Bethel Family Cem, Lyle Chapel Cem, and Rehobeth Community Church Cem scattered along the lower elevations. High points such as Walker Mountain and Mill Mtn frame the corridor, while named landmarks like McCowan Spring and Ratcliff Hill provide specific navigational points. The settlement patterns follow the drainages of Stuart Run and Laurel Br, where the terrain briefly opens enough to support rural hamlets like Green Valley and Hotchkiss.
