About this map

The Quantico Marine Corps Schools dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant military presence along the Potomac River. The terrain is shaped by the transition from the protected woodlands of Prince William Forest Park, which contains early sites like Lichtman Camp No 1 and Hardens Hill Cem, to the tidal waters of Quantico Creek. Inland, the map documents the growth of suburban enclaves like Marumsco Woods and Georgetown Village alongside established rail routes.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure define the corridor, with the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad and Jefferson Davis Highway serving as primary arteries. Local social centers are visible through numerous small congregations, including First Mt Zion Ch and Little Union Ch, as well as the Possum Point Power Station on the riverbank. This edition preserves the layout of Quantico and surrounding communities like Triangle and Dumfries before further modern expansion.
