The massive military installation of Fort Belvoir occupies much of this landscape along the Potomac shoreline, anchoring a region defined by complex tidal inlets and suburban growth. The peninsulae of Pohick Neck, Belvoir Neck, and Mason Neck reach into the Potomac River, creating the sheltered waters of Pohick Bay and Gunston Cove. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family burial grounds and small parish yards, such as the Millan Potter Family Cem, Triplett Family Cem, and the prominent Pohick Episcopal Church Cem. The terrain is also marked by significant infrastructure, including the Davison Army Airfield and the I-95 corridor, which bypasses established communities like Accotink, Lorton, and Newington as they transitioned into the modern era.
