2013 Map of Lovingston

About this map

Lovingston serves as the primary hub in this portion of Nelson County, situated where the Thomas Nelson Hwy cuts through a landscape defined by prominent ridges and deep coves. The drainage patterns of the Rockfish River and its tributaries, such as Dutch Cr and Muddy Cr, have historically dictated the placement of small communities and industrial sites. Industrial history is evident at Woods Mill and Lawthorne Mill, while local aviation is represented by Woodridge Field Airport. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named peaks and hollows, including Mosby Mountain, Peebles Mountain, and Melton Hollow. Smaller settlements like Old Myndus, Gullysville, and Rockfish are scattered throughout the valleys, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the natural contours of the Blue Ridge foothills.
