Orange denotes a Jefferson county; purple, an Adams county.

For the actual data, use the image map version.

The pre-civil-war Virginia is pretty ugly.

I like it; plus, it was legal.

Huzzah for Lee County and Prince William County! Two of the best counties in VA.

Why was Greenbrier County so heavy for Adams? Nominal slave ownership?

That is what I think also.

Horrible image.

Kentucky and TN used to be a part of Virginia as well, originally.

Tennessee? No, that was part of North Carolina.

Ohio and Indiana and Illinois though were parts of Virginia... at least  according to Virginia's claims.

Which didn't stop there... there's a Virginia chapter or somesuch official document (too lazy to research it) that sets out that Virginia is bordered by Maryland to the North, the Atlantic to the East, North Carolina to the South and the Pacific to the West "including California".

I seem to remember maps featuring Virginian claims to all land north of the Tennessee--which would include large portions of the modern-day state of Tennessee---though its claims were certainly more tenuous.

EDIT:  Apparently, those claims were by New York?  Wow, talk about overreaching...

The older, more aristocratic areas to the east being more inclined towards Adams is reasonable.  What's with the Shenandoah Valley, though?

Fascinating map, though.  Great work!

VA with WV and KY actually looks pretty good.

The Connecticut and Massachusetts claims are the most LOL-worthy IMO.
