1944 Map of Rectortown
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The boundary between Loudoun County and Fauquier County cuts through the northern landscape of this 1944 War Department survey, where the winding course of Goose Creek defines much of the local topography. The Southern railroad line serves as a central artery for the region, connecting the settlement of Rectortown to the broader Virginia transit network during the mid-war years. Small agricultural and industrial landmarks like the Milan Gristmill near Cromwells Run and a Race Track in the northeast indicate a mix of working land and local recreation. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Ivy Hill Cemetery, while several fords across Mill Run and other streams illustrate the rural road network of the 1940s. The presence of numerous U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey markers, such as Upperville 1942 and Marshall 1942, anchors the map with precise historical survey data.
