1894 Map of Thorofare Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
Warrenton and Brentsville anchor this 19th-century survey of Northern Virginia, documenting the landscape before the heavy suburbanization of the modern era. The topographic detail emphasizes the strategic corridor through the Bull Run Mountains at Thorofare Gap, a vital passage for both the Richmond and Danville R. R. and early road networks. The settlement pattern reflects a stable agricultural and thoroughfare economy, with established towns like Middleburg, Aldie, and The Plains serving as regional hubs for the surrounding horse country and piedmont farms.
