About this map

Quantico Marine Corps Schools dominate the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the significant military presence in the area with Camp Barrett and an observation tower overlooking the drainages of Aquia Creek. The transportation network is defined by the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad and the burgeoning suburban development of Garrisonville Estates and Sheltons Shop.

Community life is centered around numerous country churches and landmarks, such as Mt Ararat Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the Crucifix Monument near Aquia Cem. Along the eastern edge, industrial and correctional features appear, including several gravel pits and a State Prison Camp. The topography reveals the intricate creek systems of Accokeek Creek and Potomac Creek that have shaped the settlement patterns from the historical Coal Landing to the village of Brooke.
