About this map

Leesburg and its surrounding northern Virginia landscapes are defined by the convergence of historic transit corridors and significant water bodies. Along the northern edge, the Potomac River flows past Harrison Island, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park preserves the legacy of the region's 19th-century waterway infrastructure. Moving south, the terrain shifts from the elevation of Hogback Mtn toward the dense residential developments of Lansdowne, Ashburn, and Broadlands.

Modern infrastructure, including the Leesburg Executive Airport, sits alongside older landmarks like the Old Stone Church Cem and the Old Saint James Cem. The map highlights the importance of the Goose Creek watershed, featuring both the Goose Creek Reservoir and Beaverdam Reservoir. Traditional crossings such as Murrays Ford Bridge and the Evergreen Mills Bridge reflect the area's transition from rural crossroads to an integrated suburban hub.
