Looks like 2 high strain fault zones known as the Spotsylvania zone (just west of Fredricksburg) and the Shores melange zone west of the Spotsylvainia.

Both zones run pretty much north / south fron the NC border into Maryland.

In the VA Piedmont, these high-strain zones are Reverse and strike-slip ductile high-strain zones of Taconic to Alleghanian age (~450- ~300 Ma). Many of these ancint faults were reactivated during Mesozoic geologic period.

Ancient faults that have slowed but, still can store a lot of energy of eons as the earth's crust is still dynamic. An
