About this map

Bull Run defines the jurisdictional boundary between Prince William and Fairfax counties, serving as a natural anchor for this suburbanizing Virginia landscape. The late-1970s revisions, highlighted in purple, showcase the rapid expansion of residential communities like Greenbriar and Yorkshire Park alongside established infrastructure such as the Southern Railway. This era marks a transition where old farm estates like Cloverleaf Farm Estates and Willow Springs began to sit adjacent to modern developments and regional parks.

Institutional and community landmarks are abundant, including the State Prison Camp No 30 near Centreville Farms and numerous local schools such as Parkside Jr High Sch. The map reveals a land in flux, where traditional rural features like Signal Hill and small country churches like Mt Olive Ch are increasingly surrounded by the shopping centers and highway networks of the burgeoning D.C. suburbs.
