USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Fairfax and its surrounding suburban growth are caught in a moment of rapid post-war expansion along the Lee Highway and Arlington Blvd corridors. While new developments like Fairfax Farms and Joyce Heights begin to fill the landscape, older landmarks of a rural Virginia past remain visible. The Southern railroad line cuts through the southern half of the map, serving small hubs like Fairfax Station and Sideburn Branch.
