2013 Map of Richardsville

About this map

The Rappahannock River and Rapidan R converge in the southern portion of this landscape, defining the topography of southern Fauquier County. Small settlements and rural crossroads like Richardsville, Goldvein, and Sumerduck are connected by a network of historic routes including Warrenton Rd and Richards Ferry Rd. The placement of Thompsons Mill and numerous watercourses like Deep Run and Mine Run illustrate a landscape shaped by early mill and mining economies. To the south, Richardsville South and the Happyland area, including Camp Happyland, sit near the confluence of the two major rivers. The map also captures several smaller named hills and rises such as Silver Hill and Golden Hills, showing the dispersed nature of local farmsteads and residential development before modern expansion.
