2013 Map of Rochelle

About this map

Wolftown and Rochelle serve as primary anchors for this rural Madison County landscape, where the road network connects a series of small, historically rooted settlements. The map illustrates a community defined by its proximity to water and terrain, featuring prominent landmarks like Courthouse Mountain and Mitchell Bluff. Evidence of early agricultural and industrial life is found in place names such as Repton Mills and John Lambs Bottom, while river crossings like Wilhoits Ford and Early Bridge suggest the essential transit points of earlier eras. The topography is shaped by numerous drainages, including Elk Run and Beautiful Run, which flow toward the Rapidan River. Smaller crossroads like Shifflet Corner and Dawsonville highlight the dispersed nature of local commerce and residency in this part of the Virginia Piedmont.
