1966 Map of Fairfax

About this map

Fairfax and its surrounding northern Virginia landscape are captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion, evidenced by the purple-tinted urban extensions. The downtown core, anchored by the Fairfax Co Courthouse and City Hall, transitions into a dense network of residential developments like Lord Fairfax Estates and Greenway Hills. To the south, the Southern Railway corridor links established points like Fairfax Station and Burke, while the fledgling campus of George Mason University stands as a new institutional landmark.
