About this map

Stephens City and its surrounding crossroads communities sit at the center of this 2010 topographic study, showing a landscape defined by the winding course of Opequon Creek and numerous tributary runs. The map documents the persistent agricultural and industrial heritage of Frederick County through several named mill sites, including Parkins Mills, Klines Mill, and Ridings Mill. A cluster of rural cemeteries such as Macedonia Cemetery and Green Hill Cemetery provides vital data for genealogical research in this corridor of northern Virginia.

The transportation network transitions from the modern interstate corridor down to historic routes like Double Tollgate and family-named landmarks like Stonewall Farm and Do-Nothing Farm. Notable institutional features include the State Prison Camp Number 7 and the Stephens City Post Office. Water management is evident in the presence of the Lakeside Lake Dam and Wheatlands Dam, which punctuate the drainage basins of Crooked Run and Stephens Run.
