2010 Map of Thoroughfare Gap

About this map

Thoroughfare Gap and Hopewell Gap punctuate the Bull Run Mountains, serving as the primary geological gateways through this northern Virginia landscape. The village of Thoroughfare sits at the foot of its eponymous gap, while Beverley Mill stands as a landmark of local industrial history nearby. Settlement patterns in this 2010 survey reflect a transition from historic rural outposts like Buckland and Greenwich to expanding residential developments such as Burke Meadows and Knollwood Estates. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Buckland Cemetery and Saint Pauls Cemetery near Haymarket. Extensive water features like Lake Manassas, Silver Lake, and the winding Broad Run define the eastern drainage, while the western side of the ridge features older extraction sites like Paynes Quarry and Sisslers Quarry.
