1983 Map of Rockbridge

About this map

Rockbridge and Hub City anchor this landscape where the Pine River and its numerous tributaries carve through the driftless terrain. The map documents a rural environment defined by narrow valleys and prominent ridges, including Pleasant Ridge and Richland Hill. Local spiritual and community centers are marked at Pleasant Ridge Ch and the Soules Creek Cem, providing vital reference points for genealogists. The topography is notably varied, featuring named hollows such as Happy Hollow and Steamboat Hollow, while recreational space is preserved at Pier Co Pk. Industrial activity is evident in several scattered quarries and a Sandpit, indicating the local reliance on geological resources. Transport is dictated by the land's contours, with routes like Scenic Drive and Happy Hollow Rd following the creek beds and ridge lines.
