About this map

The Rockfish River carves through a landscape of ridges and hollows in central Virginia, anchored by the settlement of Schuyler. This 2010 survey details a region where river crossings and old transport corridors define the community structure, with infrastructure like the Rockfish River Dam and Harris Bridge serving as key points along the water. The surrounding terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Appleberry Mountain and Brush Mountain, which create natural boundaries between small hamlets like Damon, Old Dominion, and Faber.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including Mount Shiloh Cemetery, Locust Grove Cemetery, and Chestnut Grove Cemetery. The map also preserves the memory of localized industry and transit, such as Bolling Siding and Faber Airport. From the northern reach of Bungletown to the southern slopes of Mount Alto, the map illustrates a network of mountain trails and rural roads like the Howardsville Tpke that have facilitated movement through these foothills for generations.
