2013 Map of Thoroughfare Gap

About this map

Broad Run and Little Bull Run carve through the landscape of Northern Virginia, defining the settlement patterns and industrial history of this region. The geographic bottleneck of Thoroughfare is anchored by the historic Beverley Mill, while the surrounding terrain rises toward High Point Mountain and Bisquit Mountain. This survey documents a transition from established rural hamlets like Buckland and Greenwich to the expanding suburban residential development around Haymarket. Further north, smaller communities such as Waterfall Village and Antioch remain tied to the network of winding country roads. Large water features including Lake Manassas, Silver Lake, and Lake Brittle punctuate the landscape, alongside landmarks like Camp William B. Snyder, illustrating the area's diverse land use.
