About this map

The Rappahannock River and Hazel River converge in this mid-1960s landscape, marking the boundary between Culpeper and Fauquier counties. The town of Remington serves as the focal point, situated at a major crossing point where the Southern railroad line meets the riverbank. This era of Virginia's history is reflected in the transition from traditional farming to infrastructure growth, evidenced by the presence of pipelines and the U S Military Res Warrenton Training Center near the village of Opal.

Rural community life is well-documented through landmarks like Cedar Lee Sch and St James Ch, alongside established family-named landmarks like Roots Hill and Lucky Hill Run. The map also captures the corridor of the Southern railway as it passes through Bealeton, providing a detailed look at the rail-dependent settlement patterns and local church-centric communities such as Litchfield Ch and Providence Ch before modern highway expansion further altered the Piedmont landscape.
