2016 Map of Dahlgren

About this map

The Dahlgren Naval Surface Warfare Center Airport and associated military facilities dominate this stretch of the Potomac River shoreline, where the Harry W Nice Memorial Bridge connects Virginia and Maryland. Moving inland from the Tetotum Flats and Black Marsh, the landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural settlements including Chestnut Hill, Ninde, and Hooes. These small communities are connected by the James Madison Pkwy, which serves as a central artery through the wooded terrain of Pumpkin Neck and down toward Colonial Beach.
