1948 Map of Belvoir

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Fort Belvoir dominates the Potomac shoreline in the late 1940s, its military footprint established across the peninsula between Accotink Bay and Pohick Bay. The map captures a transitional landscape where historic Virginia estates and colonial-era landmarks meet mid-century government expansion. On the northern reaches of Mason Neck, the proximity of Gunston Hall and Shiloh Ch to the burgeoning military reservation highlights the layers of regional history preserved here.
