About this map

Clark Mountain dominates the western topography of this Virginia landscape, where the Rapidan River forms the winding boundary between Orange and Culpeper counties. The 1960s terrain reflects a well-established agricultural and rural community centered on intersections like Unionville and Rhoadesville. Local life is anchored by numerous country churches, including Mt Pisgah Ch and St Pauls Ch, alongside community landmarks like the Unionville Sch and Oakwood Cem.

A notable transport legacy is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through the southeastern corner near Verdiersville, a vestige of earlier steam-era connectivity. The landscape is also marked by industrial infrastructure including several pipelines, a Compressor Station, and a Claypit south of Rhoadesville. From the river crossing at Raccoon Ford to the heights of Mt Holy, the map preserves the precise distribution of homes and farmsteads before modern suburban expansion reached this portion of the Piedmont.
