2010 Map of Gainesville

About this map

Stepney Plantation and the historic crossroads of Catharpin anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the rural past of Prince William County meets modern suburban expansion. The terrain is marked by significant historical geography, particularly around Groveton, which contains the Groveton Confederate Cemetery and Stonewall Memory Gardens. This area is defined by its complex network of ridges and hills, such as Henry Hill, Matthews Hill, and Chinn Ridge, which rise above the many branches of Bull Run and Youngs Branch. In the south, the expansion of Gainesville and New Market is evident, situated near the industrial and transport corridor of the Norfolk Southern railroad. The map records several smaller family landmarks, including the Taliaferro/Carter Family Cemetery and the Ball Family Cemetery, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing local families in the shadow of the Culpeper Basin.
