1966 Map of Flint Hill

About this map

The Rappahannock River and Jordan River carve through the foothills of the Blue Ridge in this mid-1960s survey of the Virginia Piedmont. The landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and family landholdings, such as Flint Hill, Huntly, and the historic Wakefield Manor. Higher elevations are marked by the Appalachian Trail crossing near Ravensden Rock, while the lower valleys show a network of rural churches and cemeteries including Willis Chapel and Rockland Cem. The boundary between Rappahannock Co and Fauquier Co follows the river's winding course, illustrating how the natural topography dictated the political lines of the region. Local industry is represented by a small Quarry and a Gravel Pit near Hume, highlighting the transition from a purely agricultural economy to small-scale resource extraction during this era.
