About this map

Mt Pony rises sharply above the surrounding Virginia landscape as the most prominent geological landmark east of Culpeper. This 2016 survey captures the expanding residential and commercial footprint of the town as it moves toward the Culpeper Basin and the historic crossroads of Brandy Station. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Mountain Run and Sumerduck Run, which flow toward the southern border defined by the Rapidan River.

Smaller settlements and rural points of interest such as Stevensburg, Batna, and Stony Point reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region. Family and local history can be traced through sites like the Masonic Cem and numerous named farm roads such as Croftburn Farm Rd and Walnut Grove Ln. The map also details the varied topography from the elevated slopes of The Ridge and Coles Hill to the low-lying wetlands along the river boundary with Culpeper and Orange Counties.
