1966 Map of Herndon

About this map

Dulles International Airport dominates the central landscape of this Northern Virginia survey, which captures the region during a period of rapid suburban expansion. To the east, the corporate limits of Herndon and the planned community of Sterling Park show significant growth, while rural remnants like the Sully Plantation and Mt Pleasant Ch stand alongside modern infrastructure like the National Weather Service Sterling Research and Development Center. The transition from agrarian roots to a transportation and technology hub is evident as old crossroads like Floris, Chantilly, and Navy are increasingly connected by a network including Sully Road and the W & O D Trail. Local heritage is preserved in landmarks such as Chestnut Grove Cem and Cooktown, offering a detailed look at the changing character of Loudoun and Fairfax counties before total suburbanization.
