1946 Map of Widewater

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Potomac River dominates this mid-century view of the Stafford County shoreline, where the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac rail line runs parallel to the water's edge. This coastal landscape is defined by its numerous points and coves, including Mallows Bay on the Maryland side and the deep inlet of Aquia Creek to the south. Small inland communities like Widewater and Decatur are centered around local gathering spots such as Mountjoy Store and Decatur Store, serving a rural population before the mid-twentieth century expansion of suburban housing.
