2016 Map of Waynesboro

About this map

Waynesboro serves as the central hub of this Wayne County landscape, where the Green River and its numerous tributaries have carved a dense network of ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and upland ridges, connected by historic routes like the Clifton Tpke and Old Beech Creek Rd. This area is particularly dense with family and community burial sites, many located in isolated hollows such as Ray Hollow and Johnson Hollow, reflecting generations of rural settlement. Landmarks like Rocky Mill Br and Hog Cr indicate a long history of water-driven utility in the region. The topography is dominated by local named features such as Copeland Ridge and Wildcat Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected nature of the Highland Rim. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family-named locations, from the Greeson Family Cem to the Bennett Cole Cem, scattered across the winding creeks and timbered slopes.
