1966 Map of Nokesville

About this map

Southern railroad tracks bisect the landscape of Prince William County, connecting the farming communities and growing towns of mid-century Virginia. The map details a period of transition as Manassas expands southward, while the historic village of Brentsville remains centered around its schools and local landmarks like the Hetchner Memorial Ch. The rural character of the area is defined by a network of waterways including Kettle Run, Slate Run, and Cedar Run, which historically powered local industry such as Daniels Mill. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, from Valley View Cem to the Rose Hill Cem near the Manassas Municipal Airport (Davis Field). To the south, the map captures the northern edge of the Marine Corps Development and Educational Command (Quantico), specifically identifying Camp Upshur.
