Additional Description: Marker is at the western edge of Rockfish Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, at the edge of Afton Mountain. Route 250, I-64, the Blue Ridge Parkway (bridge over 250 in the background) and the former C&O Railroad squeeze through this narrow gap at this point. Afton Mountain Road (Virginia Route 6) and Howardsville Turnpike (which does not go anywhere near Howardsville) both start at this gap.
