About this map

The Mount Vernon Wharf serves as a focal point for this riverside landscape, where the Potomac River separates the residential developments of Virginia from the protected grounds of Maryland. On the Virginia side, the suburban pattern is defined by numerous neighborhoods including Gum Springs, Wessynton, and Stratford Landing, many of which carry names reflecting the area's deep ties to the Washington family legacy such as Mount Vernon Manor and Sulgrave Manor.

Across the water, Fort Washington National Park stands prominently at the junction of the Potomac and Piscataway Cr. The map details the complex shoreline with features like Sheridan Point and Piscataway Neck, illustrating how the waterway influenced the positioning of the Fort Washington Light. This modern survey traces the network of corridors like the Mount Vernon Memorial Hwy, which connect these historically significant riverfront communities.
