1965 Map of Annandale

About this map

Annandale and the surrounding suburbs of Fairfax and Arlington Counties are seen here during a period of rapid mid-century expansion. The landscape is characterized by the conversion of wooded terrain into master-planned residential communities such as Ravensworth Park, Kings Park, and Strathmeade Springs. The infrastructure of the era is anchored by the crossing of the Capital Beltway and Little River Turnpike, while the older transportation patterns of the Southern Railway still mark the southern corridor near Edsall Station.
