About this map

Vienna and Reston anchor this Northern Virginia landscape, which at the start of the 2010s shows a sophisticated suburban network overlaying its historical agricultural roots. The Washington and Old Dominion Tr cuts diagonally across the terrain, tracing the former railroad corridor that once linked these communities. The area's legacy of small settlements is preserved in place names like Dranesville, Springvale, and Clarks Crossing, while numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Flint Hill Cemetery and Browns Chapel Cemetery, remain as permanent markers of local genealogy.

Water management is central to the development here, evidenced by the series of reservoirs including Lake Anne, Lake Fairfax, and Lake Audubon. These man-made features, along with the meandering Difficult Run and its tributaries, define the residential layout. Notable landmarks like the Wolf Trap performing arts venue and historic sites like Browns Mill highlight the transition from a mill-and-farm economy to a region defined by parks and public spaces.
