About this map

Culpeper and its eastern environs are captured here in the 1970s, showcasing the transition from the town's residential center to the surrounding Piedmont farmland. The Southern railway tracks bisect the landscape, linking the county seat to Brandy Station and Inlet to the northeast. Notable community infrastructure is prominent, from the National Cem and Masonic Cem near the town center to the County High Sch and Richardson Sch.

The terrain is defined by the prominent rise of Mount Pony and several drainage systems like Mountain Run and Sumerduck Run that flow toward the Rapidan River at the southern boundary. Distinctive local landmarks including the Drive-in Theater and a local Quarry reflect the mid-century economy, while historic crossroads such as Stevensburg and Batna maintain their established positions in the rural landscape.
