The Central Virginia edition covers 226 miles from Waynesboro on I-64 to Pearisburg on the New River, including parts of the George Washington-Jefferson National Forests and the Blue Ridge Parkway, with a separate section on day and loop hikes in one guide and four maps on two sheets. The pocket-sized planning guide contains background and interpretive information, points of interest, general advice, shelters, water sources, and road crossings. The omnidirectional format allows you tosee where you are whether southbound or northbound. Each map is focused on the Appalachian Trail and overlaps with the neighboring maps. The surrounding area, out to about three miles, and additional side trails are also included. An easy-to-use elevation profile shows ups and downs and the distance to the next campsite or shelter, side trails, and water sources. For added interest, maps indicate federal or state lands, road crossings, waterfalls, and scenic areas. The maps, revised in 2018, are both water- and tear-resistant. • Maps 1 & 2 : Central Virginia; Rockfish Gap (I-64) to Milepoint 92.5, Blue Ridge Parkway Peaks of Otter Overlook, south of Buchanan Seven-color, 1:63,360-scale topographic maps with 100 feet contour intervals. 1 inch = 1 mile. • Maps 3 & 4 : Central Virginia; Bobblets Gaps Shelter near Blue Ridge Parkway/Peaks of Otter Overlook to the New River at Pearisburg (U.S. 460) Seven-color, 1:63,360-scale topographic maps with 100 feet contour intervals. 1 inch = 1 mile.
