1973 Map of Vienna

About this map

The planned community of Reston and the expanding town of Vienna define this northern Virginia landscape during a period of rapid suburban maturation. Extensive residential growth is visible near Lake Anne and the USGS National Center, contrasting with the more established rural crossroads of Dranesville and Hunter. Significant green space is preserved along the Difficult Run corridor, which winds through several stream valley parks. Cultural and historical landmarks are well represented, from the Wolf Trap Farm Park and its Filene Center to the historic Colvin Run Mill. The map documents the modernization of the region's infrastructure, showing the Dulles Airport Road cutting across the terrain, alongside older thoroughfares like the Leesburg Pike and Old Georgetown Pike. This edition also captures the density of educational and civic institutions, including Madison High Sch and the Oakton High Sch.
