1966 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Marshall Hall and the banks of the Potomac River define this map, showing the suburban expansion of Virginia and the rural preservation of Maryland in the mid-1960s. The Virginia side is marked by dense residential growth in named neighborhoods like Hybla Valley, Stratford Landing, and Newton Woods, interspersed with established institutions such as Woodlawn Manor and St Lukes Ch. Across the water, the landscape remains notably different, characterized by the expansive Piscataway Park and The National Colonial Farm. This contrast illustrates the early efforts to preserve the viewshed of the river corridor. Cultural markers like Emmanuel Ch and Bethlehem Ch are visible alongside modern infrastructure like the U.S. Coast Guard Radio Station and the Federal Communication Center, highlighting the area's mix of local history and federal presence.
