About this map

Opequon Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming a natural boundary near the community of Burnt Factory. The area is defined by a series of small, scattered settlements including Stephenson, Jordan Springs, and Leetown, which are connected by a network of historic transit routes like the Martinsburg Pike and Old Charles Town Rd. The presence of numerous burial grounds, such as Stones Chapel Cem and Old Salem Cem, reflects the deep-rooted local history of the Frederick Co and Clarke Co borderlands.

Topographically, the terrain rises toward the Devils Backbone, with drainage provided by features such as Redbud Run and Lick Run. Newer residential developments like Greenwood Heights and Burning Knolls contrast with the long-established rural tracts. This documentation provides a clear look at the intersection of traditional agricultural land and modern residential expansion along the Virginia and West Virginia state line.
