2022 Map of Sugarloaf Mountain

About this map

George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest dominate this landscape along the Botetourt and Rockbridge County line. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and high peaks, including North Mtn, Painter Mtn, and the distinctive Sugarloaf Mtn. The small settlement of Rapps Mill sits along the banks of S Buffalo Cr, representing the modest agricultural and milling operations that once utilized these mountain waters. Nearby, local history is preserved at Rapps Cem, while further north near Reidland, the Pullen Cem and Deacon Cem offer sites for genealogical research. The northern edge is marked by the Lexington Reservoir, illustrating the area's role in regional water management. Numerous gaps and hollows, such as Boggs Hollow and Tory Hollow, suggest historical transit routes through this complex topography.
