About this map

Washington and Old Dominion RR and the Southern RR anchor the transport network of Northern Virginia during the mid-1940s, revealing a landscape of rural crossroads and growing towns before modern suburbanization. The transit-oriented development of the era is evident in settlements like Herndon and Vienna, while the interior remains a patchwork of small communities and rural services such as the Oak Grove Store and Bear School.
