About this map

Big Cobbler Mountain and Little Cobbler Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this Fauquier County quadrangle, situated within a region characterized by prominent peaks and several watercourses like Carter Run and Thumb Run. Small rural communities and historic farmsteads are scattered throughout the territory, connected by a network of winding roads such as Leeds Manor Rd and Crest Hill Rd. Key settlements include Orlean, Hume, and Vernon Mills, the latter of which sits near the foot of Thumb Run Mountain.

The presence of Ayres-Alcp Airport near Clarks Corner and named agricultural estates like Runnymeade Farm and Cobbler Springs Farm reflects the area's long-standing transition between traditional rural life and specialized modern land use. The topography is defined by the drainage of various branches, including Rattle Br and Strothers Br, which feed into the larger runs that have shaped the local geography for generations.
