1944 Map of Mount Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Fort Washington and Fort Hunt stand guard on opposite banks of the Potomac River in this 1944 War Department survey, marking a landscape defined by military history and the expansion of the capital's suburban and recreational reach. The map captures the Virginia shoreline as it transitioned from rural estates to more structured developments, with the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway and Jefferson Davis Highway providing critical transportation arteries. Notable landmarks like the Hybla Valley Airport and the U S Bureau of Fisheries installation reflect the era's specialized land use near the water.
