    Saw a link to this on another site, it's pretty fascinating. Have not seen it before, thought I'd share.

    The first detailed map of Loudoun County — or of any part of the Virginia Piedmont or Northern Virginia -- was surveyed and drawn by Yardley Taylor in 1852-53. Taylor's 36-by-51-inch "Map of Loudoun County, Virginia, from Actual Surveys" was printed on linen in muted red, yellow and green and black.

    FYI - there was an original of this map for sale in one of the antique shops in Purcellville a month or so ago. Don't recall which one.
