About this map

Brownsburg and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Augusta County are defined by a network of creeks and prominent ridges in this 2010 survey. The topography is shaped by heights like Big Hill, Pisgah Hill, and Roundtop Hill, with the valleys between them supporting scattered settlements and historic water-powered sites such as McClung Mill and Wades Mill. The importance of local heritage is visible in the distribution of community spaces like New Providence Cemetery and Fairfield Cemetery.

Transport routes follow the natural contours of the land, with Hays Creek and Moffatts Creek providing drainage for the region's farms. Smaller named places like Zack, Bustleburg, and Decatur dot the landscape, illustrating the persistent settlement pattern of rural Virginia. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the Interstate corridor near Fairfield, where Whitesides Run flows through more developed land near Jonestown and Hackett Hill.
