A Visual Representation of the Impacts to the Rockfish Valley from the Proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline Standing in the Rockfish Valley on land registered as an historic farm that was cultivated over 250 years, one looks west to see a beautiful swath that sweeps down from Fortunes Ridge to Horizons Village. This view, down the east sidde of the Blue Ridge from Fortunes Point to Horiizons Village, is one of the most important panoramic views in Virginia and sets the scene for all of the economic engines in this area. This panorama contains Horizons conserved land and the acreage of Elk Hill, which is in conservation with an easement held by Virginia Outdoor Foundation. Additionally, State Route 151, which runs down the middle of the Valley, is a Scenic Byway as is Beech Grove Rd and the Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Scenic Byway.
