About this map

The town of Orange anchors this 2016 survey, where the street grid transitions from the municipal center into a landscape of Piedmont hydrology and family landmarks. Small communities like Madison Run, Daniel, and Monrovia are situated amidst a dense network of watercourses, including the southern boundary formed by the N Anna River. The map provides significant value for genealogical research, documenting several family and community burial sites such as Lewis Cem, Watkins Cem, and Shady Grove Cem.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Orange County Airport in the north, while the rural character is maintained by landmarks like Brocks Bridge and Lake Orange. The terrain is defined by numerous drainages such as Pamunkey Cr and Mountain Run, illustrating how the historical settlement patterns of Orange County follow these natural corridors and established rural roads like Monrovia Rd and Old Gordonsville Rd.
