1956 Map of Quantico
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Quantico Marine Base and the Marine Corps Air Station dominate the shoreline where Quantico Creek meets the Potomac River in the mid-1950s. This survey illustrates a landscape defined by military infrastructure and emerging suburban enclaves like Melrose Gardens and Chamberlain Village, contrasted against the dense woodlands of Prince William Forest Park. The logistical spine of the region is clearly visible through the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad and the Possum Point Power Station, supporting the growth of Dumfries and Triangle.
