2013 Map of Brandy Station

About this map

Brandy Station serves as the focal point for this section of Culpeper County, anchored by its proximity to Fleetwood Hill and the historical crossings of the Hazel River. The landscape is defined by its transition from high ground at Sheads Mountain in the northwest toward the fertile drainage basins of Muddy Run and Ruffans Run. This area preserves a network of small, established communities like Oakshade, Rixeyville, and Alanthus, which are interconnected by historic routes such as Rikeyville Rd. Aviation interests are represented by local facilities including Pleasantdale Field Airport and Berryvale Airport. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous named water bodies like Waterford Run and Indian Run cut through a territory rich with family-named roads and landmarks, reflecting generations of continuous settlement in northern Virginia.
