About this map

Opequon Creek winds through this northern Virginia landscape, serving as a focal point for a series of historic crossings including Seivers Ford, Clevengers Ford, Tanquarys Ford, and the Berryville Crossing. The area shows a transition from traditional agricultural settlements like Wadesville and Leetown to modern residential developments such as Burning Knolls and Shenandoah Hills.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from Stones Chapel Cemetery in the east to Milburn Cemetery near Stephenson. The map documents numerous estates and family-named landmarks, including Helmsley Estate and Annefield Estate, alongside industrial and transportation markers like the Stephenson Post Office and Sheppard Dam. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Devils Backbone and the High View Farm Airport, reflecting the varied land use of Clarke and Frederick Counties.
