About this map

The Thornton River and Hazel River converge in this northern Culpeper County landscape, a region defined by historical crossroads and rolling agricultural land. The small settlements of Rixeyville, Alanthus, and Catalpa anchor a network of country roads including Butler Store Rd and Myers Mill Rd. The map illustrates the varied hydrology of the area, from the small Hopper Br to larger features like Brandy Rock Farm Lake and the Benzinger Pond.

Significant landmarks such as Sheads Mtn and Fleetwood Hill provide vertical relief in the Culpeper Basin. The presence of the Berryvale Airport near Kerrick Bridge indicates the transition from traditional farming to modern aviation facilities. This survey captures a rural Virginia landscape where historical place names like Oakshade and Lakota persist alongside essential water management features like the Swan Dam.
