This is a cadastral map of the Clifton area in Fairfax County, VA published by the Fairfax County Office of Comprehensive Planning in 1977. It shows the boundaries, owners name and acreage of each land parcel reflected in land grants from the 1700s. These parcels appear to be laid over natural features and more current man-made features like roads, pipe lines and town boundaries. The circled numbers may represent the land grant number or parcel number as witnessed in a title or deed. I love old maps and am fascinated with the way land was divided and claimed.
