1967 Map of Greenfield

About this map

The North Fork Rockfish River and South Fork Rockfish River carve through the foothills of the Blue Ridge in this 1967 survey of the Nelson and Albemarle county border. Small communities and local crossroads center around historic rural congregations, such as Hebron Ch, Rodes Ch, and Mt Woodland Ch. The settlement of Greenfield sits at the base of the mountain ridges, while Nellysford marks the southern valley entrance. Significant portions of the western terrain are protected within the George Washington National Forest, where topography rises toward peaks like McLean Mtn and Pilot Mtn. The map reveals a landscape defined by traditional agriculture and forestry, with many family-named hollows and gaps, including Cooks Hollow and Tool Gap, still serving as primary landmarks for local geography.
