About this map

Maryland Mine and the Toms Run Quarry reflect the industrial heritage of this Potomac River landscape, where the Maryland and Virginia borders meet near the Mather Gorge. The river is defined by a dense archipelago including Offutt Island, Herzog Island, and Plummers Island, bordered by the Clara Barton Pkwy and George Washington Memorial Pkwy.

Suburban growth is evident in the sprawling residential developments of Tysons Corner, McLean, and Falls Church, which are linked by the Dulles Access Rd. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Saint James Cemetery and Walker Chapel Cemetery, alongside educational and government facilities like Marymount University and the David Taylor Model Basin. This survey provides a look at the densely populated corridor just west of the nation's capital during the early 21st century.
