2022 Map of Orlean

About this map

The rolling piedmont of Fauquier County is dominated by the prominent peaks of Big Cobbler Mtn and Little Cobbler Mtn in this 2022 survey. Small settlements such as Orlean, Ashville, and Morgantown anchor a landscape defined by cattle farming and narrow, winding roads. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical family burial grounds, including the Harrison Family Cem and Shumate Family Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Waterways like Carter Run and Thumb Run carve through the terrain, with several church congregations, such as Thumb Run Baptist Church and Saint Andrew Episcopal Church, serving as community landmarks. The inclusion of the Ayres-Alcp Airport and the proximity of Hume further illustrate the mix of agricultural tradition and modern local infrastructure in this part of northern Virginia.
