About this map

Quantico Marine Corps Schools and the surrounding Potomac shoreline define this mid-century landscape of northern Virginia. The map details the expansive Prince William Forest Park, showing its network of camps such as Lichtman Camp No 1 and Goodwill Camp No 3. Transportation and military infrastructure are prominent, with the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad running parallel to the river and the Marine Corps Air Station situated near Chopawamsic Creek.

Smaller community landmarks provide depth for local historians, including Little Union Ch, Boswells Store, and several local schools like Burrows Sch. The riverfront is marked by distinctive points like Possum Nose and Cockpit Point, while residential growth is visible in emerging neighborhoods like Marumsco Woods and Georgetown Village. This 1966 survey, with 1978 purple revisions, documents the evolving footprint of the base alongside the established towns of Quantico, Triangle, and Dumfries.
