2019 Map of Massies Corner

About this map

Thornton River and Battle Run converge in this pocket of Virginia's Piedmont, defining a landscape where historic crossroads and small settlements like Laurel Mills and Viewtown remain central to the geography. The map documents the rural character of Rappahannock County, bounded by the Rappahannock River to the northeast and the Culpeper County line to the south. The terrain is marked by isolated peaks including Hickerson Mtn, Jefferson Mtn, and Battle Mtn, which disrupt the agricultural lowlands. Distinctive water features such as Lake Mosby and Sweeney Lake sit near the village of Amissville, while the small community of Korea occupies the southeastern corner. This survey provides a modern view of a region that has maintained its pastoral layout, showing how contemporary road networks like Ben Venue Rd and Googe Mountain Rd follow the traditional contours of the land.
