2011 Map of Sterling

About this map

Selden Island and Van Deventer Island sit at the heart of this survey, where the Potomac River forms the boundary between Virginia and Maryland. This early 21st-century portrait reveals a landscape of rapid suburban maturation and educational expansion, evidenced by the high concentration of satellite campuses like George Mason University Loudoun and Marymount University - Loudoun Campus. The map documents the intricate road networks connecting residential hubs like Ashburn Village and Countryside with major commercial anchors including Dulles Town Center. Significant recreational and athletic sites are prominent, from the Belmont Country Club to Redskins Park. Historical continuity is preserved through numerous burial grounds such as Sterling Cemetery and the Saint Paul Community Cemetery, while the Washington and Old Dominion Trl follows a corridor that once served the region's early rail commerce.
