1966 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

The Rappahannock River splits the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, separating the urban core of Fredericksburg from the growing residential communities in Stafford County. The map details a city defined by its Civil War heritage, clearly marking the Fredericksburg Battlefield and National Cemetery alongside geographic landmarks like Maryes Heights and Confederate Ridge. This era shows the city as an established educational and transit hub, anchored by the Mary Washington College campus and the industrial corridor of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad.
