1966 Map of Thoroughfare Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Bull Run Mountains and Pond Mountains form a dramatic natural wall across this mid-1960s landscape, pierced only by the historic Thoroughfare Gap. This pass serves as the primary corridor for both the Southern railroad and the modern highway, connecting the rolling terrain of Fauquier County with the developing plains of Prince William County. Near the gap, the landmark Beverley Mill sits adjacent to the rails, marking a site of long-standing industrial importance.
