1968 Map of Arcola

About this map

Dulles International Airport occupies the eastern edge of this landscape, marking the intersection of modern infrastructure with the rural tradition of Loudoun County. This 1968 field-checked record, with later revisions, shows a region in transition as residential and industrial expansion begins to edge into agricultural lands. Small crossroads communities like Arcola and Lenah serve as focal points along the historic thoroughfare of Braddock Road, while local life is anchored by country sanctuaries such as Mt Zion Ch and Little River Ch. In the southwest, the State Prison Camp No 26 stands near the winding course of Black Br. The map also preserves the site of Oak Hill (Historical), providing a valuable reference for genealogists tracking family lands near Conklin or the waters of Broad Run and South Fork Broad Run.
