2016 Map of Stokesville

About this map

Stokesville sits at the confluence of the North River and Little River, serving as a gateway to the high ridgelines of the George Washington National Forest. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of early industrial history and modern conservation, notably tracing the path of the Old C & W Railway Rd near the North River Gap. The landscape is defined by its water resources, from the recreational waters of Todd Lake and Elkhorn Lake to the vital Staunton Reservoir tucked beneath Trimble Mtn. Further south, the rural character of Augusta County remains visible through traditional community hubs like Stover and Stribling Springs, where roads such as Oak Hill School Rd and Stover Shop Rd hint at the locations of former local institutions. The steep-walled drainages of Daggy Camp Hollow and Bear Draft illustrate the challenging terrain that shaped early settlement patterns and mountain pass routes through Jennings Gap.
