1977 Map of Rochelle

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Rochelle and its surrounding rural communities in Madison County are captured here during the late 1970s via orthophotography. This aerial survey reveals the intricate patchwork of cleared farmland and dense woodlots that define this Piedmont landscape. Small crossroads settlements like Wolftown, Pratts, and Shelby serve as the primary anchors for local residents, connected by a winding network of country roads. The hydrology of the region is a dominant feature, with the Rapidan River and Conway River carving prominent paths through the terrain. To the south, Burtonville and Dawsonville sit near the confluence of the South River and the Rapidan, while Elk Run drains the central fields. This document offers a clear view of the agricultural patterns and land use in central Virginia before modern suburban expansion began to significantly alter the historic farm-to-market road structures.
