1967 Map of Midland

About this map

The John Marshall Birthplace stands as a significant historical landmark in this Fauquier County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Licking Run. The map illustrates a rural Virginia region in transition, where established agricultural communities like Germantown, Midland, and Morrisville are connected by the Southern railroad line. Civil infrastructure is prominent through various utility pipelines and the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport, while the legacy of local industry is marked by the Franklin Mine and a large Quarry near Lois. Numerous country churches, such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Ebenezer Ch, serve as anchors for the scattered settlements and crossroads that define the area's social geography during the late 1960s.
