1986 Map of Washington West
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Potomac River corridor anchors this mid-1980s landscape, serving as the border between the expanding suburban developments of Northern Virginia and the historic urban core of Washington. This map illustrates the dense concentration of federal power and military infrastructure, including the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir Military Reservation, and the Vint Hill Farms Station Military Reservation. To the west, the urban density of Alexandria and Arlington gives way to the planned communities of Reston and the academic grounds of George Mason University in Fairfax.
