About this map

The Occoquan Reservoir creates a serpentine division between Fairfax and Prince William counties, defining the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey. To the south, suburban expansion is clearly underway as residential developments like Marumsco Village, Marumsco Hills, and Dale City begin to blanket the area near the Potomac River. This period of growth is caught in transition, evidenced by the proximity of new schools like Vaughan Sch and Woodbridge High Sch to older rural landmarks such as Hedges Cem and Oak Grove Ch.

A notable institutional presence exists along the river at Occoquan, where the District of Columbia Department of Corrections boundary and State Prison Camp No 6 are located near local Quarries. Further inland, the infrastructure of the era is marked by the Woodbridge Airport and several small community centers like Agnewville and Bethel, documenting a region shifting from a river-and-rail economy toward modern residential corridors.
