2016 Map of Brokenburg

About this map

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park lands occupy the eastern portion of this landscape, marking preserved ground within a network of historic rural crossroads. The area's settlement pattern is defined by nodes like Todds Tavern and Post Oak, connected by winding roads that cross the Po River and its numerous tributaries such as Glady Run and Black Rock Run. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the woods and fields, including Shady Grove Cem, Hebron Cem, and the uniquely named Little Mine Road Cem. In the north, the Ni River Reservoir provides a significant water feature near Goshen Baptist Cem, while the southern reaches center around the community of Brokenburg. The terrain is deeply etched by a dense drainage system, where the Catharpin Run and Greenfield Cr flow through a landscape of managed forests and small clearings, illustrating the persistent rural character of this part of Spotsylvania County.
