1970 Map of Bluemont

About this map

Blue Ridge terrain dominates the western edge of this Loudoun County landscape, where the Appalachian Trail follows the high ground through Snickers Gap. From this mountain vantage, the land descends into a patchwork of rural estates and established settlements like Bluemont and Bloomfield. The map reveals a sophisticated equestrian and educational character in the southern reaches, evidenced by the grounds of Foxcroft Sch and the Middleburg Training Track. Local history is deeply etched into the countryside through numerous small communities such as Unison, St Louis, and Airmont, each connected by a network of winding roads and mountain branches like Butchers Branch. Genealogical interest is found in rural landmarks including Ebenezer Ch and the South Fork Cem, while the northern portion is marked by the presence of Sleeter Lake.
