USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Potomac River flows past the large Selden Island and Van Deventer Island, marking the border between Loudoun County, Virginia, and Montgomery County, Maryland. Along its northern bank, the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is clearly defined, following the river's bend. To the south, the landscape reflects the rapid suburban transition of the late 1960s. The established community of Sterling Park shows a dense residential grid, while nearby Broad Run Farms maintains a more spread-out character.
