1952 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Goose Creek defines the lower half of this landscape, its winding course crossed by historical landmarks like Guinea Bridge and Garters Bridge. In the early 1950s, the rural character of Loudoun County was punctuated by a network of small settlements and religious centers, including Lincoln, Philomont, and Mountville. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides exact locations for several country houses of worship, such as Regular Ch, Mountville Ch, Zion Ch, and Pentecostal Ch, alongside the Goose Creek Cem. The presence of Camp Highroad and State Prison Camp No 24 reveals the specialized land use during this era. Industrial and utility infrastructure of the period is also visible, from a Quarry near the creek to the Purcellville Sewage Disposal facility in the north, reflecting the gradual modernization of these agrarian communities.
