1970 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Lincoln stands as a central settlement in this Piedmont landscape, surrounded by a network of rural hamlets and small crossroads communities. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a territory defined by the winding course of Goose Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Crooked Run. The map provides significant detail for local historians, documenting specific structures such as Mt Olivet Ch and Zion Ch, as well as Camp Highroad near the banks of the North Fork Goose Creek. To the east, the historic grounds of Oatlands are situated near the confluence of local streams and the Telephone line corridor. The terrain is marked by distinct elevations like Vesper Hill and Mount Gilead, while smaller settlements like Philomont, Mountville, and Silcott Spring are linked by a dense web of light-duty and unimproved roads, reflecting the agricultural character of Loudoun County before the onset of modern suburban expansion.
