About this map

Mount Torry Furnace stands as a significant landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Augusta County, situated at the base of Torry Mountain. This 2011 survey captures a region defined by its rugged topography and outdoor recreational sites, including Sherando Camp and the Maupin Field Shelter. The path of the Blue Ridge Pkwy winds through the center of the sheet, providing access to scenic vistas at Ravens Roost Overlook, Greenstone Overlook, and Rock Point Overlook.

Water management and local aviation are key features, with the South River Number 25 Dam near Sherando and the Rockfish Airpark located near Beech Grove in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those studying local lineage, the Wintergreen Cemetery and Diamond Hill Cemetery are clearly marked. The map also delineates diverse natural features from the Maple Flat Ponds to prominent peaks like Potatopatch Mountain and Humpback Mountain.
