2013 Map of Bluemont

About this map

Snickers Gap serves as a prominent gateway through the Blue Ridge Mountain range, marking the western edge of this Loudoun County landscape. The settlement of Bluemont sits at the foot of the ridge, where the historic Snickersville Tpke begins its descent toward the rolling Piedmont. This 2013 survey reveals a traditional Virginia countryside defined by small, long-established hamlets and agricultural estates. Features like Old Welbourne and Ayrshire Farm highlight the area's equestrian and farming heritage, while small historic communities such as Unison, Willisville, and Saint Louis maintain their distinct footprints along secondary roads. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding course of Beaverdam Cr and numerous smaller branches like Dog Br and Jeffries Br, which fed the region's early mills and farms. To the northeast, the topography transitions toward Round Top and the waters of Sleeter Lake.
