2016 Map of Stuarts Draft

About this map

Stuarts Draft and the southern outskirts of Staunton anchor this 2016 survey of Augusta County, where the Shenandoah Valley floor begins its rise toward the Blue Ridge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Christians Creek and the South River, which drain a complex network of smaller runs like Loves Run and Coles Run. In the southern reaches, the map captures the transition into the George Washington National Forest, where the terrain steepens and becomes densely wooded. Established communities such as Fishersville and Jolivue reflect the area's ongoing residential growth along major corridors, yet smaller locales like Folly Mills, Barterbrook, and White Hill maintain their distinct identities. This edition provides a high-resolution view of the modern road network, from the interstate to rural lanes like Old Greenville Road, marking the evolution of this historic agricultural and industrial region.
