About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape along the Loudoun Co Fauquier Co border is defined by a dense network of watercourses and early rural settlements. In the south, Rectortown serves as a focal point along the Southern railroad line, while the community of Atoka sits to the north near the winding path of Goose Creek. The area's equestrian and educational heritage is evident in the presence of the Middleburg Training Track and Notre Dame Academy in the northeast quadrant.

Natural topography is shaped by numerous named runs and branches, including Cromwells and Burnt Mill Run, which flow through a region characterized by small-scale institutional landmarks like the Northwestern Sch and the Ivy Hill Cem. These features, alongside various pipeline corridors and an isolated Landing Strip, illustrate the mixture of traditional Virginia land use and modern utility infrastructure present in the late 1960s.
