Hype for the Future 184T: Northern Virginia’s Piedmont
Overview The Piedmont counties of Northern Virginia, referring collectively to Greene, Madison, and Fauquier Counties, are each associated with numerous wineries and breweries in the area, along with nearby Warren County to the northwest of Fauquier.

Starting in the 1640s, the #Rappahannock tribe’s land was taken by English settlers who turned much of it into #plantations. In 1924, #Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act tried to erase #NativeAmericans by declaring that every state resident had to be either White or Black. The Rappahannocks — as well as other tribes in the Mid-Atlantic area — struggled to maintain their identity for generations & essentially became a #landless tribe.

Happy New Year and Happy Mapping in 2025!
I plan to boost some #introductions over the next few weeks. It's exciting to see a new wave and I hope that you enjoy the Fediverse!
In the meantime, I've been working on refining a recipe for relative elevation models (REMs) using Dan Coe's methods. My 2025 goal is to cover most of the #Virginia rivers, but we'll see.
Check out @FediTips for tips on how to use Masto.
