About this map

Pohick Neck and Belvoir Neck dominate this landscape where the Potomac River meets a complex network of coastal inlets. This modern survey illustrates the suburban expansion of Fairfax Co in the mid-2010s, yet it meticulously preserves the locations of early colonial and family history. Numerous small burial grounds, such as the Millan-Potter Family Cem, Triplett Family Cem, and Chichester Family Cem, are marked alongside historic congregations at Pohick Episcopal Church and Silverbrook United Methodist Church.

The presence of Fort Belvoir and Davison Army Airfield highlights the area's long-standing strategic importance, while the Occoquan River boundary between Fairfax Co and Prince William Co frames the southern edge of the sheet. Diverse terrain features like Mason Neck and Gunston Point remain largely undeveloped compared to the dense residential corridors of Lorton and Newington. Local landmarks like the Remey Tomb and Fairfax Grave provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing legacy families in this corner of Northern Virginia.
