2022 Map of Old Rag Mountain

About this map

Old Rag Mountain and the deep relief of the Blue Ridge dominate this modern survey of the Virginia highlands, where high-elevation wilderness meets the established farming valleys of Etlan and Nethers. Within the boundaries of Shenandoah National Park, the landscape is defined by a dense network of footpaths including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the iconic Skyline Drive. The map documents the topographical transition from the granite summits of Thorofare Mountain and Robertson Mountain down into the narrow hollows where the Hughes River and Robinson River originate.
