About this map

U S Naval Reservation Dahlgren Weapons Laboratory dominates the riverfront landscape where the Potomac River meets the tidal inlets of Machodoc Creek. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals a specialized military-industrial geography, featuring the U S Government Railroad, a Golf Course, and a Marina serving the base personnel. Beyond the laboratory gates, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of rural settlements and agricultural family lands.
