1968 Map of King George

About this map

King George serves as the focal point of this late 1960s survey, illustrating the inland community's layout just before significant late-century development. The map details a landscape transitioning from traditional rural life to a more modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of King George High Sch and Bunche High Sch. Along the banks of the Potomac River, riverside communities like Fairview Beach and Wellington Beach highlight the area's maritime orientation, while Stuart Wharf points to a legacy of river-based commerce. The interior is dotted with numerous local landmarks, including Potomac Ch, St Stephens Ch, and Peoples Union Ch, which emphasize the long-standing community centers of the county. Smaller settlements such as Arnolds Corner and Comorn are linked by a network of roads that wind past Mason Millpond and along the drainages of Upper Machodoc Creek.
