About this map

Goose Creek winds through this Piedmont landscape of central Loudoun County, anchoring a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Lincoln serves as a focal point, flanked by established congregations at Mt Olivet Ch and Goose Creek Ch. The geography is defined by a series of distinct rises and watercourses, including New Guinea Ridge and the winding North Fork.

Tracing the secondary roads reveals a community connected by historic crossings like New Guinea Bridge and Carters Bridge. To the south and west, the map details smaller locales such as Philomont, Mountville, and Silcott Spring, alongside the institutional grounds of Camp Highroad. On the eastern edge, the terrain slopes toward Oatlands and Sycolin Creek, illustrating the dispersed pattern of residential and agricultural land use in the period between the late 1960s field checks and 1981 photoinspection.
