2011 Map of Widewater

About this map

Widewater and the surrounding Stafford County shoreline are defined by the convergence of Tank Creek, Boars Creek, and Aquia Creek as they enter the broad expanse of the Potomac River. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of established waterfront landings and modern residential developments, with distinct neighborhoods like Colonial Port, Sunshine View, and Windermere appearing alongside older agricultural references such as Thorny Point Farm. The presence of Aquia Landing and Willow Landing underscores the area's long history as a maritime transit point, while more recent infrastructure is represented by Hope Springs Marina and Chimney View Airport. Across the river in Maryland, Liverpool Wharf and Clifton Beach anchor a less densely developed bank. Military and recreational aviation also shape the region, with the northern edge featuring a portion of the Quantico Marine Corps Airfield/Turner Field.
