About this map

Kellys Ford and the meandering Rappahannock River anchor the northern reaches of this map, where the border of Culpeper and Fauquier Counties follows the waterway. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainages such as Mountain Run and Hoopers Run that feed into the major river systems. In the southern portion, the Rapidan River provides a natural boundary with Orange County, near the site of the Germanna Community College Locust Grove Campus.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and church burial grounds throughout the rural landscape, including the James William Brown Family Cem and Taylor-Payne Family Cem. Settlement patterns remain focused around crossroads like Lignum and Lagrange, while the presence of The Greenhouse Airport and Ebenezer Baptist Church Cem indicates the continued importance of these local centers in the modern era.
