2011 Map of Vesuvius

About this map

Steeles Tavern and Vesuvius anchor this portion of the Shenandoah Valley, where the landscape transitions from rolling agricultural land into the steep rises of the Blue Ridge. The course of the South River serves as a central geographical axis, punctuated by water management features such as the South River Number Three Dam and South River Number Four Dam. To the north, the State Prison Camp Number 10 reflects the area's institutional history, while the rural character is maintained by landmarks like the Brook Hill Farm Airport and small settlements like Lofton and Raphine.
