1968 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Leesburg serves as the focal point of this Loudoun County landscape, showing the town's expansion toward Tuscarora Creek and the establishment of the Leesburg Municipal Airport Godfrey Field. The map records a transition in the rural areas, where historic crossroads like Gleedsville, Oatlands, and Evergreen Mills maintain their character alongside emerging suburban developments. To the north, the Potomac River forms the state boundary with Montgomery Co, Maryland, featuring the protected corridor of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park and Harrison Island. The southern reaches are defined by the winding course of Goose Creek and the infrastructure of the Beaverdam Creek Reservoir. Local history is anchored by community landmarks such as Douglas High Sch, Mt Olive Ch, and the Union Cem, while the western edge is dominated by the steep rise of Hogback Mountain at Mountain Gap.
