About this map

The Southwest Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Virginia Piedmont region, where peaks like Hightop and Broadhead Mountain overlook a terrain defined by legacy estates and small rural hubs. This 2013 survey captures the area as a mosaic of agricultural and historical landholdings, featuring several named manors and farms such as Cismont Manor, Old Keswick, and Castle Hill. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the hills and the winding paths of watercourses like Mechunk Cr and Jacks Br, with communities like Cismont and Keswick serving as central points for local connectivity.

Institutional and industrial history is visible through labels like the Poorhouse Farm and Merrie Mill, indicating the diverse social and economic evolution of the county. The road network, including the path of Va-799 and Interstate 64, highlights the modern accessibility of these traditional landscapes. For the genealogist or local historian, the map preserves the exact placement of named properties like Tall Oaks and Belvoir, which offer specific markers of family heritage in this corner of the state.
