2019 Map of Washington

About this map

The Rappahannock County Courthouse serves as the focal point for the town of Washington, situated at the intersection of Main St and Warren Ave. This area of the Virginia Piedmont is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Jenkins Mtn and Wolf Mtn, leading into the eastern boundary of Shenandoah National Park. The local economy and settlement patterns are historically tied to the watercourses, with Fletcher Mill located along the Thornton River and the settlement of Rock Mills positioned where the Rush River flows toward the southeast. Smaller hamlets like Sperryville and Rediviva are connected by the Sperryville Pike, while geographic features such as the Big Devils Stairs indicate the steep transitions between the river valleys and the mountain summits.
