2019 Map of Rochelle

About this map

Madison and the rolling terrain of southern Madison County are anchored by a series of long-established agricultural communities and family ridges in this 2019 study. The landscape is defined by the Rapidan River and its numerous tributaries, including Whiteoak Run and Elk Run, which carve through the prominent uplands of Tippets Mtn and German Ridge. This area retains much of its rural character, with crossroads like Shelby and Wolftown serving as focal points for local history. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed documentation of community landmarks, including the Rose Park United Methodist Cem and Mount Nebo Lutheran Church Cem. The map traces the historical transport patterns along S Seminole Trl, showing how settlements like Pratts and Rochelle developed along these established transit corridors between the river bottoms and the mountain foothills.
