About this map

The Potomac River dominates this mid-century survey, dividing the Virginia and Maryland shoreline as the world transitioned from the Second World War. On the Virginia side, the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac rail line runs parallel to the coast, serving key points like Aquia Sta and the Midway Island Housing Project. This transportation corridor supported a network of rural hubs including Mountjoy Store, Decatur Store, and Fritters Corner.
