About this map

Fort Belvoir Military Res dominates the landscape at the confluence of the Potomac River and its major tributaries, showing a complex network of coastal peninsulas and tactical installations. The map details the significant footprint of the Davison Army Airfield and the nearby Lorton Reformatory, illustrating the concentrated government and military presence in this region of Fairfax County. These facilities are surrounded by a dense suburban fabric of residential developments including Springfield Oaks, Raceway Farms, and Gunston Manor.

The hydrography of the Potomac’s many reaches, such as Pohick Bay, Gunston Cove, and Accotink Bay, provides a clear view of the shoreline's geography. Prominent landforms like Pohick Neck and Mason Neck are outlined by arterial roads such as Richmond Hwy and Jefferson Davis Hwy. The integration of public lands is noted through sites like the Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course and the Wilson Scout Reservation, reflecting the mix of military, recreational, and residential use in the early 21st century.
