2013 Map of Abingdon

About this map

Abingdon and Bladensburg anchor this rural landscape in Jefferson County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the south and east. The drainage pattern is led by Cedar Cr and Competine Cr, which are fed by numerous smaller tributaries including Little Competine Cr, Buckeye Cr, and Honey Cr. These creeks dictate the winding paths of local roads that deviate from the standard Jefferson County grid, such as Batavia Rd and Brookville Rd. Smaller settlements like Competine in the northwest and Yampa in the south reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region. The map reveals the relationship between the low-lying creek bottoms and the upland farmsteads, providing a clear view of the area's rural infrastructure and small-town junctions.
