2016 Map of Greenfield

About this map

Nellysford and the Rockfish Valley serve as the focal point for this 2016 survey of the Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is defined by its transition from the steep, forested slopes of the George Washington National Forest to a series of creek-carved hollows and valleys. Along the southern edge, the S Fork Rockfish River and the Rockfish River proper collect drainage from numerous mountain gaps, including Tool Gap. These watercourses historically shaped the settlement patterns of small communities like Greenfield, Lodebar, and Durrett Town. The interior is marked by several prominent summits such as Massies Mtn, Pilot Mtn, and Ennis Mtn. Local genealogy and land history are anchored by landmarks such as the Holy Cross Cem near Mechums River and established crossroad sites like Martins Store.
