1957 Map of Joplin

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Prince William Forest Park dominates this mid-century landscape, a heavily wooded terrain shaped by the tributaries of Quantico Creek. This era of the late 1950s captures the transition of the land into military and recreational use, with the Quantico Marine Base boundary running through the southern half of the quadrangle. A significant geographic detail is the designation of the Lunga Reservoir (Proposed) along Beaverdam Run, indicating planned water management that would soon alter the hydrology of the area. Small pockets of private history remain visible in the small settlements of Kopp and Joplin, alongside scattered Cem sites and established recreational facilities such as Camp No 2 and Camp No 5. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns of Chopawamsic Creek and its various branches as they move through the heavily dissected topography of the Stafford and Prince William county line.
