2016 Map of Massies Mill

About this map

Massies Mill and Tyro anchor the drainage of the Tye River system within the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high peaks of the George Washington National Forest, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses significant summits like The Priest and The Friar. The settlement pattern follows the water, with older communities like Alhambra and Nash situated near the headwaters of the South Fork Tye River and Piney River.
