About this map

The Occoquan Reservoir and the Occoquan River dominate the northern and central landscape of this survey, serving as the border between Fairfax and Prince William counties. The terrain shows a suburban landscape in transition, where new developments like Dale City and Marumsco Village begin to spread across former rural tracts. Near the river, the town of Occoquan remains a focal point of infrastructure, featuring the Occoquan Dam, the Elk Horn Pumping Sta, and a large Filtration Plant.

To the south, the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac rail line runs parallel to the Potomac shoreline, connecting the residential hubs of Woodbridge and Featherstone. Landmarks reflecting the era's civic and social footprint include the Woodbridge Airport, the State Prison Camp No 6, and the Radio Tower (WBYA). Community life is mapped through numerous local institutions such as Oak Grove Ch, Greenwood Ch, and Vaughan Sch, providing a detailed look at Northern Virginia's mid-century growth.
