About this map

The Occoquan Reservoir and its surrounding woodland dominate this 1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Fairfax and Prince William counties. To the south, the early footprint of Dale City begins to take shape, contrasting with established rural settlements like Hoadly and Minnieville. The eastern corridor is more densely developed, marked by the growth of Marumsco Village and Woodbridge along the Jefferson Davis Hwy.

Social and institutional landmarks of the era are clearly documented, including the District of Columbia Department of Corrections property and the State Prison Camp No. 6 near the reservoir's edge. Local genealogy is supported by the presence of Oak Grove Ch, Ebenezer Cem, and early educational sites like Vaughan Sch. This survey also records the Woodbridge Airport before the region's suburban expansion reached its peak.
