About this map

Nokesville and Bristow anchor this mid-1960s landscape where the agricultural character of Prince William County meets burgeoning infrastructure. The Southern railroad line cuts diagonally across the terrain, serving local industry like the Shale Pit and the nearby Claypit. Rural life is centered around community institutions such as Brentsville High Sch and several country houses of worship, including Asbury Ch and the Brentsville Memorial Ch.

Waterways like Cedar Run, Slate Run, and South Run define the drainage of the area, winding past family landmarks such as the White Hall Cem and Colvin Cem. To the southeast, the map shows a portion of the Marine Corps Development And Educational Command (Quantico) at Camp Upshur. The northern reaches include the Manassas Municipal Airport (Davis Field), illustrating the transition from the old water-powered economy of Daniels Mill to modern aviation and transportation networks.
