About this map

Washington and Sperryville anchor this survey of the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge, where the Rappahannock County Courthouse stands at the center of a landscape defined by sharp ridges and winding watercourses. Significant terrain features such as Wolf Mtn, Jenkins Mtn, and the distinctive Big Devils Stairs overlook a network of valley roads and small settlements including Rediviva, Smedley, and Five Forks.

The area is notably dense with family and fraternal history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds like the Odd Fellows Cem, Miller Family Cem, and Masonic Cem. These sites, along with the Saint Peter Catholic Church Cem, reflect a deeply rooted rural community that evolved around the mills and fords of the Thornton River and Rush River. This 2022 edition provides a modern topographic perspective on these long-established Rappahannock County landmarks and their relationship to the adjacent Shenandoah National Park.
