2016 Map of Orlean

About this map

Big Cobbler Mtn and Little Cobbler Mtn dominate the northern landscape of this Fauquier County region, where the terrain transitions from these prominent peaks into the rolling valleys of Thumb Run and Carter Run. The map illustrates a contemporary rural landscape still defined by historic crossroads settlements like Orlean, Conde, and Vernon Mills. Researchers will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Thumb Run Cem near Thumb Run Mtn and the Poorhouse Cem situated along Poorhouse Br. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate network of local routes such as Crest Hill Rd and Ada Rd that connect these agrarian communities, while modern additions like the Ayres-Alcp Airport show the area's ongoing development.
