About this map

Manassas and Manassas Park appear in transition during the late 1970s, shown through the detailed lens of an orthophotoquad. The imagery reveals the advancing suburban footprint against a backdrop of established timber and farmland. Major transportation corridors slice through the landscape, connecting the growing residential blocks of Centreville and Edgelea with the historic crossroads at Compton Corner.

Natural boundaries define the southern and eastern portions of the map, where the winding course of Bull Run meets the upper reaches of the Occoquan Reservoir. This specific survey, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, provides an unfiltered visual record of land use, from the dense street grids of the towns to the sprawling wooded tracts around Clifton and the drainage networks of Cub Run and Popes Head Creek.
