About this map

The Rockfish River winds through the heart of the Blue Ridge foothills on the border of AlbEMARLE and Nelson Counties, anchoring the industrial and social life of the region in the late 1960s. The settlement of Schuyler is a focal point of activity, featuring a Quarry, Powerplant, and several community landmarks like Bethel Ch. This industrial footprint contrasts with the surrounding ridge-and-valley landscape, where high points such as Appleberry Mountain and Shiloh Mountain dictate the path of local roads.

Rural life is deeply documented through its network of small country churches and schools, including Chestnut Grove Ch, Locust Grove Ch, and Centenary Sch. Transportation is defined by the Southern Railroad and the winding course of the Old Grade Railroad, which traces the river valley. The map reveals a transition from the busier rail corridor at Faber and Bolling Siding to the more secluded reaches of Green Mountain and Alto Mountain near the village of Mt Alto.
