2016 Map of Madison Mills

About this map

The Rapidan River and Robinson River serve as the defining natural boundaries of this Central Virginia landscape, tracing the border between Madison Co and Orange Co. In this contemporary survey, the rural character is anchored by historic crossroads and mill sites such as Madison Mills and Twymans Mill, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and river-based economy. To the west, Lost Mtn rises above the rolling terrain, while numerous small waterways including Beautiful Run and Dark Run drain into the primary river basins. Small communities and named junctions like Oakpark, Elly, and Five Forks are linked by a network of local roads including Lillards Ford Rd and Old Forge Way, indicating the persistence of historic travel routes. For the local researcher, the map documents specific landmarks like Kemper Cem and the distinctive geological features of the Culpeper Basin south of Tanners.
