2016 Map of Somerville

About this map

Bristersburg and Somerville sit at the center of this rural landscape where Fauquier, Stafford, and Prince William counties converge. The terrain is defined by the Culpeper Basin and an intricate network of waterways including Cedar Run, Aquia Cr, and Town Run. This 2016 survey illustrates a region where small crossroads settlements like Sowego, Cromwell, and Davids Crossroads maintain their identity alongside large-scale institutional land use. A significant portion of the eastern map is occupied by the Quantico Marine Corps Base, creating a distinct boundary between public residential areas and restricted military grounds. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, such as Hearts Delight Cem, Cedar Run Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The presence of Tacketts Mill and Breeden Airport reflects the varied economic history of the area, from early milling traditions to small-scale aviation at Maples Field.
