About this map

The intersection of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of Rockbridge, Nelson, and Amherst counties. Centered on the community of Montebello, the area is characterized by steep ridges and deep hollows like Dismal Hollow and Taylor Hollow. The map reveals a specialized local economy and infrastructure, featuring the Montebello State Fish Hatchery and several radio towers atop the peaks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial grounds including Grant Cem, Irish Creek Cem, and Statons Cem, often situated near rural landmarks like Mt Paran Ch. The rugged terrain of the George Washington National Forest is punctuated by notable summits such as Boston Mountain and Wigwam Mtn, while recreational points like the Wiggins Spring Shelter and Boston Knob Overlook serve the trail network.
