2013 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

The Blue River snakes through this portion of Washington County, defining a landscape of low-lying bottoms and named knobs. The settlement of Fredericksburg sits at a strategic crossing, while smaller communities like Organ Springs and Hancock Chapel anchor the surrounding rural road network. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks, from the Warehouse Riffle on the river to the elevation of Wildcat Knob. Near the center of the quadrangle, Kay Bottom Spring provides a notable hydrologic feature within the fertile Whittman Bottom. The area's aviation history is represented by Jacobi Airport on the eastern edge of the survey. Numerous family-named topographic features, such as Greene Mill Hill, McIntosh Hill, and Brunner Hill, suggest a deep-rooted history of land ownership and local identification with the undulating physical geography of the Mitchell Plain.
