About this map

Lexington and the campus of Washington and Lee University form the center of this 2019 survey, showing the intersection of academic tradition and civil administration at the Rockbridge County Courthouse. The town’s historical footprint is well-documented through its numerous burial grounds, from the central Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cem and Evergreen Cem to the outlying Old Monmouth Cem and New Monmouth Cem.

The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Maury River and its many tributaries, including Whistle Creek and Woods Cr. The terrain rises sharply away from the river valleys toward landmarks like Poorhouse Mtn and Lovers Leap. Smaller communities such as Newtown and East Lexington are shown along the developing road network, which bridges the gap between the historic town core and the rugged ridges of Brushy Hill and Grassy Ridge.
