2022 Map of Madison Mills

About this map

The Rapidan River and its numerous tributaries, including Robinson River and Beaverdam Run, carve a complex landscape along the border of Madison and Orange Counties. This area is defined by a dense network of historic family graveyards and rural congregations, reflecting generations of deep-rooted settlement. Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the Madison - Taliaferro Family Cem, Kemper Family Cem, and the Tucker Family Cem. Small hamlets such as Twymans Mill, Locust Dale, and Radiant anchor the rural crossroads, while the Culpeper Basin marks the geological transition in the east. From the Oak Grove Mennonite Church in the northwest to the northern edge of Orange, the map preserves the names of early farmsteads and rural landmarks that have persisted through the modern era.
