About this map

Middleburg occupies a central role on this survey of Virginia's hunt country, surrounded by historic estates and the sprawling Bull Run Mountains. The landscape is a mix of equestrian landmarks and rural crossroads, featuring the Glenwood Racetrack near Polecat Hill and the Hickory Tree Farm Landing Strip. This era shows a transition toward more modern infrastructure, with large pipelines cutting across the northern sections and a growing footprint at Bull Run Mountain Estates.

Genealogists can find numerous local landmarks, including the St Stephens the Martyr Ch and several family burying grounds like Solon Cem and Sharon Cem. The southern reach of the quadrangle is defined by the steep terrain of High Acre Ridge and Signal Mtn, where multiple quarries indicate the local mineral extraction industry. Waterways like Goose Creek and the Little River provide the natural boundaries for established settlements such as Aldie, Dover, and Stoke.
