1968 Map of Colonial Beach South

About this map

The George Washington Birthplace National Monument dominates the Potomac River shoreline on this survey, highlighting the preserved historical landscape of the Northern Neck. Centered around Wakefield Mansion and Bridges Creek, the area shows a distinct transition from the established summer resort atmosphere of Colonial Beach in the north to the agrarian interiors of Westmoreland County. The map details a network of early landings and wharves, such as Wirt Wharf and Massey Wharf on Mattox Creek, which once served as vital maritime links for local commerce.
