Historic Map Displayed
By Mrs. John A. Keyser
An historic map of Rappahannock and the adjacent counties was brought to the News office Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. John A. Keyser. The map is the property of Mr. Keyser’s nephew, Comdr. Charles Keyser, who is now stationed in Japan. He acquired it from E. T. Jones, grandfather of E. M. Jones.
The map is in a frame and in a good state of preservation, and the writing on the map is in ink written in a very legible hand writing. This map is based on the survey made by the C. S. (Confederate States) Engineers 186165. By Ted Hotchkiss, territory engineer of Staunton, Va., 1877. Besides Rappahannock county it shows the surrounding counties of Page, Green, Madison and Fauquier. In the lower left hand earner on the map there is a tabic of the population of the townships of the county in 1870, and a census report of the number of white people, slaves and free Negroes for the years 1840 to 1870.
