About this map

Stokesville and the surrounding highlands of the George Washington National Forest dominate this landscape on the edge of the Shenandoah Valley. The terrain is defined by the steep cuts of the N River Gorge and prominent peaks like Trimble Mtn and Hankey Mtn. In the lower elevations to the southeast, the rural communities of Stover and Stribling Springs are connected by a network of local routes including Stover Shop Rd and Jennings Gap Rd.

The map reveals the area's transition from high mountain wilderness to valley agriculture. Local history is evidenced by the Old C & W Railway Rd, tracing the path of former infrastructure near Stokesville. Water resources are abundant, from the recreational waters of Todd Lake and Elkhorn Lake to the drainage of Moffett Cr and Jennings Br, which flow through the gap between Little North Mtn and Crawford Mtn.
