2022 Map of Villamont

About this map

Fincastle and the surrounding Botetourt County landscape are defined by the passage of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail through the high ridgelines of the Jefferson National Forest. This modern topography shows the tight relationship between historical transport and the terrain, where the N & W RR and Blue Ridge Tpke parallel the mountains through the valley floor. Small settlements and rural waypoints like Lithia, Nace, and Villamont follow this corridor, providing a glimpse into the late-20th and early-21st-century development of this mountain pass.
