About this map

Vienna and the planned community of Reston are captured during a period of rapid suburban expansion in Northern Virginia. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where historic rural landmarks like Browns Mill and Browns Chapel meet modern infrastructure such as the Dulles Airport Road. Significant residential development is visible around Lake Anne Village and Vienna Woods, yet the region's agricultural roots remain evident in the numerous small settlements like Vale, Hunter, and Dranesville.

Transport networks are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Wash & Old Dominion RR and established thoroughfares like Leesburg Pike. Local history is preserved through the labeling of several 19th-century sites, including Andrew Chapel and Antioch Church, alongside the civic center of Vienna with its Town Hall and Community Center. The northern edge of the sheet reaches the Potomac River at Great Falls Park, where the rugged terrain around Difficult Run and Colvin Run contrasts with the growing urban grid to the south.
