2019 Map of Villamont

About this map

Fincastle and Troutville anchor this survey of the terrain where the valley meets the mountains of the Jefferson National Forest. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley topography, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway winding along high elevations through Curry Gap and past Grindstone Knob. In the lowlands, small settlements like Nace, Lithia, and Villamont sit along a network of creek drainages including Mill Cr and Back Cr. Local family history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Thompson Cemeteries, Booze Cem, and Simmons Cem. The area illustrates a 21st-century transition between developed town corridors and protected federal forest lands, marked by prominent peaks like Blue Knob and Wildcat Knob.
