1966 Map of Quantico

About this map

The Quantico Marine Corps Schools and its massive training grounds dominate this mid-century landscape along the western shore of the Potomac River. The base encompasses specialized facilities including the Marine Corps Air Station, Butler Stadium, and several housing areas such as Lyman Park. To the north, the historic community of Dumfries sits at the head of Quantico Creek, while the expansive Prince William Forest Park preserves the wooded interior with various camps like Hickman Camp No 1. Industrial and logistical activity is centered on the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac rail line, which serves the Possum Point Power Station on the riverbank. Local life is documented through numerous churches like the Star of Bethlehem Ch and the Post Chapel, alongside educational markers like Graham Park Jr High Sch and Quantico High Sch.
