1966 Map of Manassas

About this map

Bull Run defines the western edge of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the border between Fairfax and Prince William counties. The map captures a moment of suburban expansion as residential developments like West Gate of Lomond and Yorkshire Park begin to fill the spaces between established settlements. To the south, Manassas and Manassas Park show dense urban grids, while the eastern portion around Clifton remains more rural, with the Southern Railway winding through the terrain towards the Occoquan Reservoir. Institutional landmarks are prominent, including the Emily Spiller Marsteller Sch and the State Prison Camp No 30. The transition from agrarian land to suburban tracts is evident in the naming of modern estates alongside historic parish sites like St Johns Ch and The Church of the Blessed Trinity.
