  1. The Ravensworth landgrant boundary is based on the companion map to Beth Mitchell’s Beginning at a White Oak: Patents and Northern Neck Grants of Fairfax County, Virginia. The George Mason University Department of Geography GIS Center extracted the geographic information in developing maps for Fairfax County’s A Look Back at Braddock history project and published in Braddock’s True Gold: 20th Century Life in the Heart of Fairfax County.
