About this map

Dulles International Airport dominates the northwestern landscape of this Fairfax County region, with its extensive runway system and landmarks like the Donald D. Engen Observation Tower and Dulles Distribution Park illustrating the modern infrastructure of the early 21st century. In stark contrast to the massive transit hub, the map records the enduring footprints of earlier eras through sites like Sully Plantation and long-standing communities such as Floris, Navy, and Lees Corner.

The area's natural drainage is defined by numerous waterways including Horsepen Run, Cub Run, and Flatlick Br, which carve through a landscape increasingly marked by modern suburban development. From the commercial hub at Marbrook Centre to the residential areas of Brookfield and Herndon Heights, the map shows the dense network of roadways like S Sterling Blvd and Centreville Rd that connect these growing Northern Virginia neighborhoods.
